:shock:

Let's start a big debate with lots of screaming like little girls and calling each other names. And talk about music too.

Big question: VOGUE or LIKE A PRAYER? Which one do you prefer?

I know the words EPIC and ICONIC completely lost their meaning because they're are used all the time, but when it comes to Madonna's carreer you can say that both songs are equally defining moments and are respected by both critics and music lovers. To add, both songs had great video's, have been performed live to cheering crowds and are known even by your Moroccan neighbour.

So, strike a pose, get down on your knees and make a choice!

WELL. Personally, I prefer Vogue over Like a Prayer. I know it's a bit silly but the general public ruined Like a Prayer for me a bit, it's now too much of a housewives song. Vogue for me is still überfashionable and can still be played in it's original form in clubs around the world and get the same reaction it got a decade ago. I think it's my second favourite Madonna song, right after Get Together (YES!).

Of course Like a Prayer meant the transformation of Just-Fun-Madonna into the real popstar Madonna (1987-2006), so it's still a top 10 track for me.

They are so different... Like a Prayer is the best Madonna song, in my opinion and Vogue is her best DANCE track. I would chose Like a Prayer.

Video wise, Vogue.
Album version wise, Vogue.

Single version wise, LIKE A PRAYER.

Its a tough choice though, cos both are brilliant for different reasons. They are poles apart as songs. But Like A Prayer is one of the greatest pop songs ever.

Song: Like A Prayer
Production: Vogue
Most danceable: Vogue
Live: Vogue
Video: Like a Prayer
Iconic status: Vogue
Lyrics: Vogue

Vogue wins hands down. Like A Prayer is overplayed anyway. It's like MJ's Billie Jean. It's a great song but it's just ALWAYS played...

What a weird poll. These songs shouldn't be compared.

My favourite Madonna song is Like A Prayer. It's just IMMENSE in every single respect. Vocals, melody, lyrics, impact, video. Absolutely stunning.

Vogue is an utterly brilliant pop song, but that's it. It's nothing more than that. Like A Prayer is a sublime piece of songwriting in the truest sense of the word.

I think "LAP" is the better song, but I have to be in the mood for it.

I'm ALWAYS in the mood for "Vogue".

What do you mean "of course"?

A gay dance song is so obviously better than an epic songwriting masterpiece like Like A Prayer?

Your flippant "of course" implies the poll was a "Vogue Vs. Jimmy Jimmy" affair.

vogue is a perfectly conceived and executed dancefloor anthem, probably the best of its kind -though i personally enjoy hung up even more. like a prayer is one of the grandest songs in pop history, i care not if it's oversaturated, the fact remains if there's one moment in her career she should be remembered for, this is it.

The fact these songs shouldn't ordinarily be compared is what makes this an interesting poll and thread.

So you voted for Vogue in the end?
