Hmmm, let's see how much participation we get for the Material Girl.

You can vote for up to 7.

I will go with:

Like a Prayer
Live to Tell (the best pop ballad of the 80's)
Borderline
Ray of Light
Hung Up
Frozen
Justify Your Love

Can't say I'm a fan, but I like a small handful of songs:

Material Girl
Like a Prayer
Frozen
La Isla Bonita

(with the last two being far and away superior to the other two)

So glad Like a Prayer is leading this currently. It's an incredible track, as is Live to Tell.

I don't like the person very much, and not all of the music clicks, but when it does, it does.  This isn't picking the shitty songs I hate least.  I actually think Like A Prayer is one of the better songs of the decade, and I love love love Beautiful Stranger and Ray of Light (experimental, but without losing the plot).

Amen to that.  Some of her big 80's hits really come off now as unappealing bubblegum pop (even more now than then), but those two songs are timeless.

I don't like the person very much, and not all of the music clicks, but when it does, it does.

Very true.  Shoot, take her last album Rebel Heart.  The majority of the songs from that are wretched (Bitch I'm Madonna is beyond awful), but then you've got songs like the title track, Joan of Arc and Ghosttown, all of which are really, really good.

  I love love love Beautiful Stranger and Ray of Light (experimental, but without losing the plot). 

Ray of Light absolutely floored me the first time I heard it, and it's still a fantastic song. Crank that one up on the freeway and pray you don't get a ticket. :lol :lol 

It's basically a dance song that became this swirling, orgasmic, and surprisingly melodic, techno gem.

Human Nature is my favorite Madonna song and one of my favorite songs ever written.
Rain
White Heart is a deep cut and hidden jem
________________________________________________________________________

But in regard to what's on the list:

Into the Groove (such a fun song and always puts me in a good mood)
Vogue (its got that early 90's piano that I crave and love) I always start dancing when I hear it
Live to tell (utterly incredible) and from and awesome movie
Take a bow is solid

Good song. The Like a Prayer album is definitely where she transitioned from being just a pop star to more of an artist, leading to her more artistic phase (the 90's).

Something tells me that would have been a popular option had I added it. :lol :lol

I am not wild about Human Nature, but Take a Bow was a nice single.  Bedtime Stories has some really good deep cuts - Inside of Me and Sanctuary. And I guess it was a single that didn't chart well, but Bedtime Story is really good.

Rain was one of the few songs I liked from Erotica.

Into the Groove is definitely one of her 80's hits that has aged well. 

I never liked Like a Virgin, Lucky Star or Open Your Heart that much, and all still sound like cookie cutter pop to me.

Not super big on a lot of the old bubblegum pop hits she had from the 80s, but I definitely like these tracks:

Like a Prayer
Live to Tell
Ray of Light
Frozen
Beautiful Stranger
La Isla Bonita
Hung Up

Take a Bow just missed the cut off.

One song I just cannot stand on the list is Music. Maybe if it was done in a different style, I might like it, but the way it is, no thanks.
As a basic rule, if you hate it, you must solely blame Portnoy. If it's good, then you must downplay MP's contribution to the band as not being important anyway, or claim he's just lying. It's the DTF way.

Yeah, I like certain aspects of Music, but it just doesn't come together for me.

La Isla Bonita having the 3rd most votes is something I did not see coming.

Ray of Light was the first primarily 'electronic' album I actually listened to which added that style of music to my fan-of repertoire.  I think Substitute for Love is just so cool.
