Dude...

THANK YOU SO FUCKING MUCH FOR POSTING THIS. This is the Madonna that people don't know about...

the Madonna that most people SHOULD know about. Keep the music coming!

@madeyes4u - Thanks! I agree. Pre-fame Madonna is my favorite era. It's a shame that songs like "Shine A Light", "Safe Neighborhood" and "Hothouse Flower" were never recorded for a proper Madonna album - not only are they superior to many of her later album tracks, but they were written solely by Madonna herself, which is a rarity in her catalogue. M needs to have more faith in her solo songwriting abilities - she doesn't need outside songwriters to help her.

Interesting. Kinda like a mix of The pretenders, Blondie, The Bangles...

@madmixARG You hit the nail on the head! A meld of rock and new wave. Very, very Blondie with shades of Romeo Void.

@GentlyBlipMe Actually, madonna continued to write all her songs on her own! she just had additional help with melodys! I do wish she would have continued to developed the melodys for her songs on her own so she can have sole writing credit, but instead she enlisted the help of some very good producers. I dont blame her really, you must not forget madonna always wrote her lyrics! ALWAYS! :D thank you for posting these as well. It just makes me love madonna more, she's just so talented!

People, she sounds like Madonna.........not Chryssie Hynde, not Debbie Harry. Take a closer listen and you'll find it is VERY Madonna.

@Giharl21 Can't you like all of it? It's kind of apples and oranges.

[lene73]
