when it came out. That album cover is seared into my memory and undoubtedly that of most kids I grew up with, considering its ubiquity and delectable combination of innocence and sex. The only other Madonna album I can say that I really remember without trying is "Hard Candy," which is simply because until I took a close look at it, I thought it depicted her licking a dildo, and that seemed kind of crazy.

Of course, I don't know how GOOD of an album "Like a Virgin" is. I see that it only has two big singles on it and I don't really think the rest was that memorable.
