    Silver Side Up, Nickelback.
    Chad is quite the misogynistic DB, but there's some real good head banging tracks on that album.

    Madonna "Ray Of Light". It's an excellent: recorded, produced and written album. I have no regrets in that. Not embarrassed, but doesn't necessarily fit into my "usual" category of music for sure.

    Also, Sade is excellent!

    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    I'm not afraid to say it - Ray of Light is fantastic. Her follow-up to that, Music, is very good, too. Both were Grammy nominated, although the former won more than the latter.

    Madonna is a funny one, guilty-pleasure-wise, isn't she?

    She, Michael Jackson & I are/were all born in the same year. Coincidence? I think not.

    Jane Child's "Don't wanna fall in love" is my go to cheesy record that I sometimes HATE blasting in my car...other times I just don't care. Life is too short to worry about what Bob in his Prius thinks of my music.

    Do you worry about what Jenny the hot tennis coach in her convertible thinks?

    See how I said "sometimes"...that sadly refers to Jenny. Damn her.

    Just ordered this. My first Madonna. Never thought I would say that. LOL.

    Agree about Sade. She has a few songs in my Rock playlist. If you have a good HT then buy this Blueray.

    Madonna seems to be a theme :)

    I don't think we need be embarrassed by Sade, who if nothing else had/has a lovely voice.

    Madonna has... what? ... Chutzpah.

    ... and that takes chutzpah. ;)

    On the other hand, Detroit is north of Canada, so maybe they come by those accents honestly, eh? :)

    kharp1,

    My favorite album is exactly the same as yours.

    I recently ran across this rendition of a song from the A1A album = "Migration".

    In the 70's, I had 2-3 copies of all of his LP's and CD's. I have owned a few sailboats in my life, and sailing is not possible without Buffett. A Pirate Looks at Forty has always been my favorite tune. I left it astern a number of years ago.

    Always admired how he could reference Grant Wood in a song and invoke such a vision. And, for anyone that remembers the original Let's Make a Deal show Door Number Three is a good laugh.

    I bought Madona's Ray Of Light as it is recommended as a must have for SDA owners. It is a pretty good listen, the only Madona I own however.

    I bought it based on this thread. I got through a couple of songs, but had to stop. Friday's are for rock, and she wasn't.

    I think I recommended it (maybe I'm wrong). It is the only Madonna album I own as well. It is a very good one (especially for SDA owners).
