I take it that Q critics/writers compiled this. But what fleeting critical tatses- i.e. just looking at Madge, "Into the Groove" and the Like a Prayer album were the selections for that 80s feature. Now- "Into the Groove" was 1985, and Q started in 1986, so I suppose that explains its absence- but, now, the Ray of Light album appears! (no complaints, though, as it's just as good as LAP).
