Underrated Madoona songs

I think underrated should refer to released singles rather than fan favourites.

Deeper and Deeper is an example. It's a great song but got overtaken by the backlash to Sex. Many people would even remember the song no. Human Nature, Jump and Nothing Really Matters are other great songs with iconic videos (except Jump) that suffer from being the fourth single. I don't think any of these would be remembered except the jerky dance from NRM.

And finally, Nothing Fails - this was picked up by the radio stations as the stand out track from the AL album but M and Warner's failed to capitalise on this and the single flopped.

Amen to that! I figured Nothing Fails would be a good candidate for Madonna's 13th number 1 when I first heard AL...sadly, the opportunity was squandered.

So yeah, if we're going on underrated single releases, add Hollywood and Love Profusion to the list...two excellent songs which I could have seen being huge had it not been for the horrible backlash of the AL video (the original).

Should have been a single. In fact, it should have followed 4M.

So excuuuuuuuuuse me..but SECRET should b huge in recurring airplay.

It should have gotten that Madonna classic status.

It should b seen as her 90's Borderline..much like its video :americanlife:

WORD

It should be up there with her 80s classics

It did well in the US, but relatively poor in the UK

Maybe when she releases STR2 she'll have it as the 2nd single in the US.

Well I'd say that the only albums that are really good to my ears and feelings are Erotica and BS. I'd say that all of the songs are good for me.

Songs that are underrated for me are:

White Heat

Inside Of Me (many samples btw :))

Secret Garden (what does this song wants to say :D)

Mer Girl

Impressive Instant

Nobody Knows Me

Forbidden Love from 2005

Dance 2Night

Yeahhhh.

^And you know, just FYI, that truly IS one of her most underrated songs. Most critics panned it when they heard it, commenting that it was a torch song and Madonna was not a torch singer. I liked that she tried something different. But I preferred the '96 mix to the original by far.

My all time fav underrated song is "Love Tried To Welcome Me" which should have been a single after TAB. Madonna was at her lyrical best here. Other tracks the are underrated are: Stay, Spanish Eyes, Words, To Have and Not To Hold, Swim, Paradise and Candy Shop.

Yeah, I think so too...I also love how Madonna was inspired to write it by a stripper she met at a club. Sometimes the best songs come from the most unlikely of places.
