Madonna – Ray Of Light

One of the greatest pop records of all time, particularly of that 90s era. It was very brave of her to go with a fairly unknown producer at the time in William Orbit – he was well known amongst the kind of dance heads but still quite niche. I think Ray Of Light was part of the reason dance music kind of crossed over from the underground to the mainstream. But also I love her voice on this record, and I love what she's saying, the spirituality of it.
