Amazon.com essential recording
The naughtily titled Immaculate Collection culls 15 of Madonna's Top 10 singles from 1984 to mid-'90, plus 2 new ones that continued the run (the dirty, trunk-bumping funk of "Justify My Love"--a Lenny Kravitz production that justifies his entire career--and the danceable desperation of "Rescue Me"). Rooted in disco and classic AM pop from girl groups and ABBA to Strawberry Alarm Clock, Madonna made savvy, touching music throughout her first golden era. These tracks retain their sonic and historical significance while, like "She Loves You" or "Rocket Man," still brightening any space they're being played in. Far more than just a wise, irreverent image-maker--like the Beatles or Elton, come to think of it--Madonna during these years was the gift that kept on giving, forever fresh, sexy, hooky, and joyously sharp. --Rickey Wright

 Best of Madonna May 30, 2008
This is the best and probably only cd I would have of Madonna, well,...Only thing I would change is "Crazy for you" and "Live to tell" What I find so painful to listen, she is good for dancing music, but her voice isnt good enough singer for balads...i would change those two tracks for True Blue and Oh Father, even her voice still not so good, at least has great lyrics and arrangements.
Other than that I Love anything else and could play and enjoy the whole CD at any time and place.

This is my first Madonna purchase and I am very pleased with it. Quite a number of the songs are the ones that I grew up with. I totally enjoy the album.
Irreverent and fun collection of Madonna's early hits March 14, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The cheekily titled Immaculate Collection contains the majority of Madonna's smash hits from the 1980s to early 1990, including such pop standards as Like a Virgin, Papa Don't Preach, Holiday, La Isla Bonita, and Material Girl. However, there are some other great slow additions that don't receive quite as much radio play in the present, including Crazy For You, Live to Tell, and Open Your Heart. There's one of Madonna's edgier, more overtly sexual tracks at the end of the CD, Justify My Love, that foreshadowed her Erotica and Sex period.
Although I was too young to remember most of these firsthand, especially earlier tracks like Borderline or Lucky Star, it's a testament to Madonna's enduring legacy that I know so many of them by heart from radio exposure and soundtracks. Even though the production (synths, drum machines) dates many of them, they are still enjoyable on their own, many with stronger lyrical chops than I would have expected for dance pop.
To be honest, this would have been better as a 2CD set to allow for major omissions such as True Blue, Angel, Dress You Up and Who's That Girl, but fans looking for her earlier dance hits such as Vogue and poppy delights such as Holiday and Cherish won't be disappointed. Also, several of the songs are remixes rather than original album versions, which may disappoint some fans, but overall, this is a pleasing pop confection sure to bring back memories of the '80s from one of music's enduring voices and trendsetters (cone bras, anyone?).
