'Music' & 'Ray of Light'

These albums were released in the late-1990s and early-2000s. Around this time, Madonna -- one of the biggest pop stars in the history of pop stars -- decided to quit writing and performing hit pop singles.

Instead, she hooked up with a series of producers to do a bunch of club songs to appeal to a niche audience, who will all turn 22 at some point and then cease to like that over-produced, over-bassed crap.

Also, Madonna made the -- probably -- very wise move in targeting her music to the homosexual male. For one, it's all club dance music.

Two, all the lyrics are mysteriously told from the woman's point of view about the guy. So, there's a lot of "his," "he," "him" and the like. Making them perfect songs for the gay. Doesn't hurt that Madonna is the Gen X version of Barbara Streisand -- the gay man's sweetheart.

Frankly, these albums completley stink and you'll never convince me that there aren't some Beatles, Rolling Stones, Beethoven, Tears for Fears or Megadeth albums that aren't more important.
