Fluttershy_Pony - I know some people don't like doing multiple albums by the same artist, but I hope we get a chance to cover another Madonna album at some point This was a good choice, but I just couldn't really get into it... I have a bias towards the older, more refined style from "Bedtime Stories" (which has my two favorite Madonna songs), but even some of her earlier work feels catchier--like "Open Your Heart" would probably be my personal pick for peak 80s Madonna. This album is... good, but... I'm not sure I'd put anything from it in my top ten Madonna songs, which makes it feel a bit disappointing. Though I'm being too harsh; the title song is still great and I like how oddly experimental "Art of Contrition" feels.

Seanchan - Just an okay album for me, despite usually liking most of the female pop albums we've covered. It's got some bit hits like Like A Prayer, Express Yourself, and Cherish, but the rest of the album doesn't reach that level.
