janradderA Song That No One Would Expect Me to Love
I wouldn't exactly say that I love this song, but I do like it. And the thing is, I don't think that anyone who really knows me would be surprised at any of the songs I truly love, which is why I'm ogin with this song. There's something really appealing about early Madonna, and I'm not talking about her looks or image, but her songs. Most pop music of that time period was absolute dreck, which is why even back then, she stood out from the pack. Beneath that bad veneer of 80's production and arrangements, there's some really good pop songs in the tradition of classic Motown and 60's girl groups like the Ronettes. "Borderline" is one of those songs. Yes, the keyboards and the synth bass are totally dated, but the heart of the song still shines through. No, I don't love the song, but I do like it a lot. What I would love, is to hear someone do a really good cover of it, because I think it could be awesome.
