In my opinion, Madonna is undoubtedly the queen of Pop. Frankly, there are great songs on the True Blue album, and it's hard to say I have just one favorite. But I can say that the songs I listened to the most in this album were "Live to Tell", "La Isla Bonita", and "Papa Don't Preach". Frankly, I love many of Madonna's songs.

Madonna - Live To Tell

I think "Live To Tell" is a flawless song. This song was Madonna's first truly great Madonna ballad where she proved to the world that she was truly an artist. Great vocals, great production, great songwriting, really everything is perfect on this song.

Madonna - La Isla Bonita

"La Isla Bonita" was unlike anything Madonna had recorded before, a Latin-tinged uptempo ballad complete with Spanish guitar, Cuban percussion, and lyrics exploring dreams of exotic San Pedro. It was the first Spanish song I listened to. I really liked Madonna's mature, lush vocals in this song.

Madonna - Papa Don't Preach

No matter how many years pass, Madonna's songs never get old, she has gifted us truly wonderful songs and they will be with us forever. Thank you Madonna.
