Madonna - The Immaculate Collection

 

Could this be the best “best of” album ever?  It certainly should be part of any conversation.  Any artist that has the confidence to leave 4 top 5 hits off their greatest hits is pretty confident (Angel (no.5), True Blue (no.3), Who’s that girl (No. 1 no less) and Causing a Commotion No2)).  Let’s face it, most other artists would base whole careers around these off cuts.  But Madonna doesn’t need to even do that.  Is there any point in reviewing this album?  Just look at the track list.

How to sum up the album?  It takes her from her simple pop beginnings to more complex, but no less exciting, pop masterpieces.  In an earlier review, I said that part of Madonna’s genius is to put 3 great songs on each album.  Here she combined them all on this one collection and it’s just great from start to finish.   A perennial favourite.
