she works hard for the money

In celebration of Madonna's Celebration, here is a mixtape of my favorite Madonna anti-hits:

3. Physical Attraction
4. Gambler
5. The Look Of Love
6. Where's The Party
7. Promise To Try
8. Oh Father
9. Keep It Together
10. Why It's So Hard
11. More
12. What Can You Lose?
13. Forbidden Love (Bedtime Stories)
14. Love Tried to Welcome Me
15. I Want You
16. You'll See (Spanish Version)
17. Candy Perfume Girl
18. Skin
19. To Have And Not To Hold
20. Little Star

22. Has To Be
23. Paradise
24. Gone
25. Nobody Knows Me
26. Nothing Fails
27. Intervention
28. Easy Ride
29. Future Lovers
30. Let It Will Be
31. Forbidden Love (Confessions On A Dance Floor)
32. Is This Love (Bon D'Accord)
33. Devil Wouldn't Recognize You
34. Voices

Listening back, American Life had some damn fine songs like Nothing Fails - and her voice sounds awesome, with that tinge of weariness that I always liked. And even Hard Candy has its good share of awesomeness. While I find myself thinking Madonna's lyrics have gone to crap as of late, I am surprised to find how much depth there is in Devil and Voices.

It speaks a lot to her musical legacy that I actually had a hard time trimming this list down. A collection of her non-singles sounds better than most others' greatest hits package.
