Some it those are commercially successful, others are loved by fans and some are neither, so I mentioned them on either basis. I feel like they deserve more recognition than they got.

What are yours?

Based in my opinion and after years and years reading message boards: 

Albums:

1. MDNA (An amazing album hated by the fans)

2. Erotica (An incredible album hated by the "first generation" of fans and by public in general).

 

Singles:

Gambler

Oh, Father

Rescue Me

This Used To Be My Playground

Fever

Bad Girl

I'll Remember

Bedtime Story

You'll See

Girl Gone Wild

Give Me all Your Luvin'

Living For Love

Ghosttown

Medellín

 

Videos:

Fever

Love Don't Live Here Anymore

Living For Love

Ghosttown

Medellín

Deep Cuts:

Many tracks from MDNA, Rebel Heart and Madame X (Gang Bang, Falling Free, Beautiful Killer, Love Spent, Come Alive, Devil Pray, Hold Tight, Holy Water, I'm Addicted, I'm a Sinner, etc, etc, etc). I don't feel too underrated the songs from the Warner Years except (maybe) the songs from "Hard Candy".

Tours:

The MDNA Tour

* Girl Gone wild - her BEST dance song, so underrated

*Celebration - still underrated

* Hollywood

* Nothing really matters

* Ghostown - one of her best videos ever, went unnoticed by the world...

Still my favourite.

It’s an incredible show. It’s sad how it’s still one of those shows that haven’t been remastered to Blu-Ray and it hardly gets mentioned by fans although it’s so unique and far superior as a “cabaret” or a “theater” than Madame X tour.

With the long overdue reevaluation of Erotica in recent years, I've been thinking a lot about this topic.  I have to say that the song "Something to Remember " is a glorious jewel in M's crown, and in spite of being re-released on a ballads collection named in its' honor,  STR seems to be unfairly shunted aside in favor of other ballads.  I personally think that STR is up there with "Live to Tell" and "Oh Father"  and her other flawless ballads.

When it comes down to it, I think that "I'm Breathless" is quite possibly her most underrated musical project of all time. 

Also, where's the love for "Angel"??   That's a killer song, a killer single, and it's been ignored since 1985.  Craziness.

I doubt it, to be honest. 

However, that can be said about Rebel heart. 

Ok maybe not her best best lol but a solid dance pop / divorce record. 

I agree about Rebel Heart, too. If you take all the demos, officially released stuff, the music videos, promo and tour, we were pretty spoiled.

I enjoyed both albums far more than Madame X.
