I actually thought about nominating Bedtime Stories this time around, but I figured it was too soon after Like A Prayer for anyone to go for it.

My top two Madonna songs. Take a Bow is actually one of the first songs I recall hearing on the radio and wanting to track down to listen to--possibly even *the* first--so a lot of nostalgia there as being one of the first songs to really stick out as something I loved. And while "Take a Bow" is one of the perfect songs from my past, Human Nature is the type of song that appeals to me now; the lyrics about not repressing yourself and being completely unapologetic are the type of things that play really well with me right now. [The album also has Secret, which is another really good Madonna single. ...I honestly can't recall any other songs from the album, which is not a good sign as I listened to it not that long ago, but still! Three songs is good!]

"Like a Prayer" doesn't have anything that hits quite the same highs, but thinking on it some more, I would put Act of Contrition in my top ten Madonna songs. It's unique enough that I always make a curious head tilt while listening to it & I think that pushes it ahead of quite a few of her songs in my rankings.
