We're talking about Madonna's 1989 confessional album Like A Prayer, which turns up on the 2020 Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums list at #330.
How does the Queen of Pop's fourth studio album hold up 30+ years after it was released?
Record Roulette host Sonya Walton was sweating bullets - she loved it as a teenager, but lots of stuff we loved as teenagers are terrible now. Did she have to worry? You have peak 1980s Madonna pissing off the Catholic Church, plus deeply personal stories about spousal abuse, crumbling family ties and more packaged with exceptionally listenable pop music and the occasional shred on the guitar from the one and only Prince. What's not to love?
Record Roulette co-hosts Eamon O’Flynn, Nathan Smith and Sonya Walton are joined by special guest Mike Pereira of the Mid-Credit Scene Podcast to discuss.
