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!
Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers: "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion."
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.

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.

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.
