Today marks the anniversary of Madonna’s epic ‘Like A Prayer’ album. For those of us old enough to remember the spring of 1989, this will always harken to that heady time of burning crosses on MTV, and a darker, more somber and serious Madonna than we’d ever encountered before. It remains a masterpiece that holds up – a timeless classic rooted in solid songs and musical brilliance – and it has endured because of its universal themes. Let’s revisit its track-list, link by exuberant link:
- Like A Prayer
- Express Yourself
- Love Song
- ‘Til Death Do Us Part
- Promise To Try
- Cherish
- Dear Jessie
- Oh Father
- Keep It Together
- Spanish Eyes
- Act of Contrition
