Year: 1995
Album: Something To Remember
Here's one I was looking for earlier in the week but came up short. Apparently I didn't look hard enough because faithful follower Phil The Fan noticed my glaring omission, found the link, and promptly sent it in my direction.
I knew the song had a video, but forgot what it was about. Phil also reminded me that this was the sequel to "Take A Bow," which I recognized as soon as I saw the matador.
"You'll See"
Year: 1996
Album: Evita (OST)
Speaking of ballads, this single led her releases from a movie musical that was not exactly full of radio-friendly material.
"You Must Love Me"
Year: 1995
Album: Something To Remember (The Ballads)
In lieu of your standard greatest hits package, Madge chose to release a hits album of entirely ballads in the middle of the decade, feeling like some of them never got the attention they deserved.
She released this one, but it still didn't get much attention.
"Love Don't Live Here Anymore"
Year: 1994
Album: With Honors (OST)
Sometimes the best songs are the ones that aren't ballads, but you still can't dance to them. (Or bang your head to them, Crickets.) Like this quiet little surprise from a movie that nobody ever heard of.
"I'll Remember"
Year: 1993
Album: Erotica
Kind of rare for Madonna to release a video for a song that doesn't go to radio.
Even more rare for Madonna to record a remake (stop throwing those American Pies in my face, thank you.)
"Fever"
Year: 1993
Album: Erotica
We now move into the part of the show that I like to affectionately call "Let's play the rest of the Madonna videos."
And after 16 of them so far, had to believe I haven't been tempted to play this one yet. Maybe not her best single, but as far as videos go it's up there with her visual best.
"Rain"
Year: 1996
Album: Pure Instinct
I even saw this band in concert in the year this came out, but didn't know there was an album behind it.
"You And I"
Year: 1991
Album: Crazy World
This band recorded consistently throughout the decade, but this is the only album I ever heard anything from. Gods and YouTube willing, maybe I'm about to find out about the other stuff.
"Send Me An Angel"
Year: 1997
Album: Batman And Robin (OST)
I have nothing good to say about this artist. His music is crappy enough, but toss in the fact that he once married a 15 year-old, beat the crap out of at least one of his other wives, and later went to trial for statutory rape charges that he has yet to serve any time for, I'm thinking that despite him having about 20 more crappy videos I could play, I'll stop with this one.
"Gotham City"
Year: 1999
Album: Believe
Not my favorite song from this album, but the mere fact that she was able to release 4 singles was celebration enough.
"Dove L'Amore"
Year: 1999
Album: Believe
She does put on a good live show. And she seems to enjoy touring too, as I believe her farewell tour is still playing somewhere.
"All Or Nothing"
Year: 1990
Album: Heart Of Stone
More Cher. I'm sorry, I just think that when she gets herself into the studio to record something, what comes out is good. Whether it be disco-club-pop, sappy ballads, or the rock-edged stuff from her late 80's efforts.
Like this one.
"Heart Of Stone"
