Is Madonna actually worth listening to or was she just a pop culture meme?

Her s/t is damn good. Everything else aged quite poorly tbqh.
she put out some kino in the early-mid 80's
This is my favorite Madonna song youtu.be
when you meet her bring a cameraman and she'll blow you while he takes pics for fame
pseudo-whore
whore-pop
Worth listening to taking into the consideration the context at the time, otherwise not really, her stuff aged like milk unlike MJ

I beg to differ
AND I FEEL
LIKE I JUST GOT HOME AND I FEEL
just try her user
She built and maintained her career through skillful collaboration, dabbling in growing movements, working with people within it, then ditching it for the next new thing. Sleazy but smart.
So she has a diverse catalog, with varying degrees of quality/resilience, but her early stuff is a good place to start.
How did songs like Vogue or Beautiful Stranger age poorly?
Listen to the album Ray of Light and then listen to the Celebration hits compilation.
She had good stuff in the eighties, plus Confession on the Dancefloor
Chris Cunningham is a God.

I liked her in Evita. She had a good charisma, decent voice, got blacked though and has been a degenerate crack whore ever since.
I fucking slay Live To Tell when I go to a karaoke.
IT WILL BURN INSIDE OF MEEEEEEEEEEEE YEAH
Is that Brandon?
KYS madonna. fucking shilling your garbage at your age.
SHAME!!!
I love this song youtube.com
Most of Madge's albums are worth listening to for one reason or another, there's some just plain solid pop songs in her catalog. Express Yourself, Borderline, Lucky Star. She even has some "DEEP TRACKS" that are really good, even semi-experimental although that usually has to do with whatever producer is blowing through town.
I have cringed at times throughout her career like during the Dick Tracy or cowgirl phases, but she's also done some pretty funny/transgressive shit like dressing herself and her dancers up as Che/revolutionaries.
She might be a corporate/literal whore but among all the corporate whores I always got the sense that she cared a little more about the music, so I give her a pass.

SOME BOYS HUG ME

into the groove is the best jam around
I'd argue that the Immaculate Collection is a better comp to listen to.
Ray Of Light, Bedtime Stories, True Blue, and Self-Titled are all excellent Pop albums, just listen to those ones.
