With her Golden Globe winning song, "Masterpiece" in the spotlight, I've dug out my copy of Something To Remember. It's got me focusing on her slower songs, which often get forgotten about and overshadowed by her more dancefloor friendly songs.
Question is, which of Madonna's slower songs are your favourite or do you think are the best, and why?
Off the top of my head, I love the rawness of Oh Father, the pain of Bad Girl, the simplicity of Rain and the moodiness of Love Tried To Wecome Me. As well as the more familiar ballads of course like You'll See etc.

But Madonna nails her ballads just as much as her anthems, mid-tempos and uptempos definitely.
I love the way her vocal can be used as commanding and euphoric and also deep and emotive and sentimental....Madonna can literally speak to you within her music.
Rain, Bad girl, Oh Father, Promise To Try, Live To Tell, Shoo Be Doo, Crazy For You, Power Of goodbye, Take A Bow, Nothing Fails, gone, I Deserve It.....so so so many more too where she proves this.
And yes SOmething To Remember is a solid compilation of her softer, ballad type songs up to that point in 1995
And i cannot wait to hear more on her MDNA album
out of album or non singles my favourites are `gone`, `time stood still`, `nothing fails`, `devil wouldn't recognize you`, `i deserve it` and `in this life`.
also quite fond of her unreleased version of abba`s `like an angel passing through my room`.
Also mentions have to go to The Power of Goodbye, You Must Love Me and Nothing Fails
Honorable mentions:
Take A Bow
Crazy For You
Miles Away
Cherish
Shoo-be-do
Promise To Try
Oh Father
Rain
The Power of Goodbye
Nothing Fails
This Used to Be My Playground
Gone
Little Star
Miles Away
I've never really cared for Crazy for You, Take a Bow or Live to Tell.
A lot have already been said, but for me ... What Can You Lose with Mandy Patinkin, Take A Bow (criminally overlooked here in the UK), Oh Father (ditto) and Paradise Not For Me.
Live to Tell is just perfect, as is Promise to Try on Like a Prayer
She. The Imperial Queen as someone referred to her on YouTube last night (I thing that is an amazing name) is master balladeer.
Something to Remember for a long time was my least favorite of her slow(er) songs. I've warmed to it slightly over the years but can't say I like it still. From that era, He's A Man my favorite slow number.
What you said.
