Happy 51st Birthday, Madonna!

It's something of a shock when you realize that most of your favorite music artists seem to be over 50. Last year, Prince turned 50, Michael Jackson did too (RIP, Michael), and Madonna--one of my long-time favorites--turned 50 as well. Amazingly, she's stayed relevant, and continues to churn out hit albums and singles. Already another year has gone by, and though the press is constantly making fun of her for her arms or her outfits, and declaring her "over," they still keep writing about her, don't they?

My favorite Madonna tunes and videos will always be those she produced between 1983 and around 1990 or so. There are exceptions, like Deeper and Deeper, Don't Tell Me, Hung Up and a few others. But for me, anything from her first greatest hits compilation, The Immaculate Collection, or almost any track from True Blue, Like a Prayer and I'm Breathless still make me just as happy as they did when they came out.

Last year I posted several of my favorite videos, all of which have been removed from YouTube. But, aha! There are some new ones up (for now), so here they are. Watch 'em before they disappear.
