Did Madonna influence Prog?

   A six or seven minute song does not prog make.  It depends on what happens in the song - key changes, shifts in tempo, unusual time signatures, that sort of thing.  But I have to admit I have not paid much attention to Madonna's music, nor have I taken much of her output seriously.

Eddie Money.

	Inspired by the already hot and famous MJ thread and his influences on Prog, I would like to talk about if Madonna influenced Prog with some of her albums. As perhaps somebody can say YES, I said NO, because results obvious. However, I´ve always thought that Madonna (or her songwriters in that period) showed a big prog mark in his first self titled album, "Madonna" -1983-, with long songs that goes nearly the six, seven minutes. I can appreciate that this first album, the only one I like, contains pure progressivepop with big songs. The best example is "Physical Attraction", a great one with huge prog movements. I love that wonderful tunes really. Sure anyone here has listen to it and know what am I talking about.
