Discussion: Her Madgesty | Madonna Essential Rate | Sky Fits Heaven Wins

That Bad Eartha

Tomorrow the Queen of Pop embarks on her 10th major concert tour. To celebrate let's re-listen and rank all of the songs we pretty much know she won't sing. Asides from the Rebel Heart album tracks, these songs typically are in the range of "there is no way in hell Madonna will ever sing this live again (or at all) in her lifetime" to "I doubt Madonna even remembers this track exists". This rate contains a whopping 177 tracks and gives us the opportunity to explore the hidden gems of Madonna's albums, soundtracks, and even songs that were never officially released.

What we will rate:

Album tracks from all of Madonna's studio albums.
Regional/version exclusive bonus tracks.
B-sides to singles.
Tracks featured on soundtracks and compilations.
Numerous leaked unreleased demos. Madonna has unreleased songs ranging from before her debut to as recent as Rebel Heart. They may have never seen an official release but they are well worth a listen. Due to the amount of unreleased material, I decided to include unreleased songs in the albums they were recorded for/around the same time. This may hurt the album's overall average, but at the end of the rate I will release album averages with and without the unreleased tracks.

What we won't rate:

Soundtracks duets/ensemble performances.
Demos of released songs with production/minor lyrical differences (the only exception being Up Down Suite and Goodbye to Innocence).
...and most importantly...NO SINGLES! While Madonna has many amazing singles, they have all had their chance to shine. This rate is intended to highlight the hidden gem's of her discography.

Rules:

Rate each song with a score from 1 to 10. 1s should go to songs you never want to listen to again and 10s should go to the songs that you think are the best of the best.
You can use decimals but only to one decimal place (ex: 7.6 is allowed, but 7.67 is not). If you put multiple places I will round them out.
You get one 11 for your absolute favorite song in the rate and one 0 for the song you wish never existed.
Troll votes will not be counted.
All votes must be sent in to me via Private Message by 11:59PM EST on October 11th. The countdown will start approximately a week after this.
I understand that this a daunting amount of tracks, but you have plenty of time to finish it. Also the track list for the rate is FINAL. Unless I forgot something genuinely major, no additions will be made.
