HA! I remember the mermen from Cherish. I thought about Ray of Light, but it just doesn't have enough Madonna outfit changes. I'm not so gaga over Vogue. Maybe I don't love the song all that much. I also like her post-2000 stuff a lot. I think I actually starting appreciating Madonna more. I was waiting for you to let me know your thoughts. HA! I remember the mermen from Cherish.

I’m not so gaga over Vogue. Maybe I don’t love the song all that much. I also like her post-2000 stuff a lot. I think I actually starting appreciating Madonna more.

Vogue (love the dancing, the black & white, the fashion, and the song) 2. Express Yourself (glorious visually, she looks fantastic) 3. Music (love the inserted animated sequence and how they hid Madonna's pregnancy) 4. Frozen (Dark and mysterious--basically the cover of Evanescence's first album 4 years early) 5. Like a Prayer (Daring and iconic) 6. Cherish (Mermen aside, the video is beautifully shot) 7. Open Your Heart (Best True Blue video) 8. Oh Father (All of the Like a Prayer videos are fantastic, even this one--the sewn lips always freaked me out as a kid) 9. Papa Don't Preach (unfolds like an '80s movie) 10. Ray of Light (a day in the life) Most innovative: Borderline (one of the first videos to tell a linear storyline) Material Girl (re-creates a film scene) Like a Prayer (pushed the limit) Express Yourself (pushed the budget) Cherish (Herb Ritts, welcome to the video world) Justify My Love (Made MTV cross its legs) Bedtime Story (another expensive one, this time with computer effects) Frozen (When she turns into a flock of birds--so cool) Ray of Light (Cinematography in a day) My take:
1. Vogue (love the dancing, the black & white, the fashion, and the song)
