Need help creating M albums for my pal!

Howdy everyone!

My pal's birthday is coming up and they're a huge fan of Madonna. I want to make them 3 albums.  Would anyone be kind enough to help name songs that should be on them?

Album 1: Live album that has songs M has only performed live + her most iconic & best performances, & performances where she changed up songs if she has any? (For example, did she ever sing a dance song acoustically, did she ever make a ballad into a dance song, did she change lyrics to a song, or change up songs in other ways that worked well?) [This is the one I need the most help with!]

Album 2: Songs not on albums (not bonus tracks) that tend to be forgotten about.

Album 3: The best / highest quality songs from before she was famous

I would greatly appreciate anyone who has suggestions and I thank you so very much!

Well, that's so many options, I'll give you some, based on my personal opinions :)


Live songs

The Girlie Show: "Rain" and "Everybody" both got new lines taken from other artists' songs. I really like how joyful and upbeat the latter was turned into in this tour, but my favorite song from this concert is the version of "Vogue".

Re-Invention Tour: "Deeper and Deeper" is a must-one to your collection, cause it's a dance song that was revamped to a jazz version, exactly as you wish. I like "Into the Groove" too, in which she changed some verses, put some Scottish influences and invited Missy Eliiot to join this new version.

Confessions Tour: well, the best Madonna's tour IMO. "Music Inferno", just watch this performance and I won't need to convince you of anything. "Erotica" was incredible too, totally remade for this tour, lyrically and musically speaking, based on its demo version "You Thrill Me". And the performance of "Lucky Star / Hung Up" is memorable.

Sticky & Sweet Tour: "Human Nature" with Britney Spears and "La Isla Bonita" with Kolpakov Trio are my suggestion. Also, the "Get Stupid" interlude.

MDNA Tour: the intro with "Girl Gone Wild" is capable to give you the shivers. The performance of "Express Yourself" with the shade over Lady Gaga became famous too. The version of "Open Your Heart" with Kalakan trio was amazing, tied with the ones of "Vogue" and "Celebration" in greatness.

Rebel Heart Tour: again, the intro with "Iconic", perhaps the best intro of all her tours IMO. "Holy Water" got a very good version too, with more lines from "Vogue" sung than the album version. You may like the acoustic versions of "True Blue" and "Who's That Girl", from what you described you're looking for. "Deeper and Deeper" and "Like a Virgin" were amazing too.


Non-albums tracks (b-sides and outtakes worth listening)

Erotica: "Shame" and "You're the One".

Bedtime Stories: "Love Won't Wait" and "Your Honesty" (the latter was included in her "Remixed & Revisited" EP)

Ray of Light: "Gone Gone Gone", "Like a Flower", "Revenge" and "Has To Be" (the latter was a b-side to "Ray of Light" single)

Music: "Run", "Liquid Love", "Arioso" and "Cyberraga" (the latter was a b-side to "Music" single)

Confessions on a Dance Floor: "Keep the Trance", "Superpop", "Triggering" and "History" (the latter was a b-side to "Jump" single)

Hard Candy: "Across the Sky", "Animal" and "Pala Tute"

Celebration: "Broken"

Rebel Heart: "Freedom", "God Is Love", "Nothing Lasts Forever", "Queen" and "Wash All Over Me (Avicii's demo)" (the latter is a completely different version from the one that made the cut).

Among non album tracks, you can't miss the wonderful AL / Hello Suckers demos : Miss You / The Game / I'm In Love With Love / Set The Right / If You Go Away (piano version) / Boum / Is This Love (Bon d'accord).
