If you're only going to get one Madonna record, or if you want to find out what the fuss is about, start here. THE IMMACULATE COLLECTION compiles the cream of Madonna's '80s singles, from the dancefloor innocence of "Holiday" to the soul-searching ... Full Descriptionpop of "Live To Tell" and "Like A Prayer" to the forward-looking, beat-crazy stylings of "Vogue." Included are a few singles, "Vogue" among them, that didn't make it onto any of Madonna's proper studio albums, and a couple of cuts exclusive to the collection, most notably the weird, Lenny Kravitz-produced "Justify My Love."
Though there are a few ballads, the vibe is dance-pop, and to that end most of THE IMMACULATE COLLECTION was remixed by Shep Pettibone, Madonna's producer of choice at the time. Most of the mixes are true to the original singles, just buffed up a bit, while "Like A Prayer" gets a kind of Latin disco overhaul. For a summation of '80s pop, you can hardly do better. Seven of these songs hit numbr one and 13 of them made the top ten. And still Madonna was able to leave off several major hits, a measure of how picky she could afford to be. IMMACULATE indeed.
Personnel includes: Madonna (vocals); Lenny Kravitz, Dian Sorel, Catherine Russell, Lillias White (background vocals).
Producers include: Madonna, Stephen Bray, Lenny Kravitz, John "Jellybean" Benitez, Nile Rodgers.

Was This Immaculate Collection Music Review Helpful? Yes No AWESOME ALBUM!!!!!!
This album is awesome. I love all the songs. One review mentioned that this album doesn't have the original versions of the songs. That is true, but it's no big deal, because these versions are better than the original. Especially Like a Prayer, because the version on this album has a better beat and it is more dance. The other songs are also really cool. I love Madonna. She is my favorite singer, and she is very talented. That is why I give this album 10 stars.

Was This Immaculate Collection Music Review Helpful? Yes No It's Madonna Nuff Said
What can you say about Madonna that hasn't already. She is probably the most prolific female artist of all time. With a beautiful voice, and a look that changes as often as the cloud patterns, you have to belive the landscape of popular music would not be what it is today without her. This album, her first hits collection, proves her contribution. From the radio friendly "Borderline", to the sexed up "Justify My Love" Madonna shows that she is the standard, and you have to rise to meet her if you want to succeed in the music biz. The Immaculate Collection is one of the best single disk hits collections ever released, and if you don't own it shame on you. Long live the Queen!!!!!!

Well first of all I dont think Madonna is very good but I have to admit this cd was pretty good. It has all of her good and only hits on this. So in other words, I think it's her best collection album.
