What are your favorite underrated Cher songs?

I also loved the Gaga duet and was sad when it didn’t come out.

Train of Thought

For God's sake, someone stop this train!

Perfection

They’ve tried multiple times to make this a hit - first with original songwriter Bruce Roberts, then later a remix of that version featuring Elton John and Kristine W. on supporting vocals, and finally with Cher. I like Cher’s version best but it still flopped. It’s a fun song not sure why it doesn’t catch on with the public

I really liked her entire not.com.mercial CD that was only available via her website. I don't know if it ever showed up on streaming anywhere

"He Thinks I Still Care" (1965)

Train of Thought from 1974. I used to love this when I was a kid.

I'm surprised Love On A Rooftop was never a single for Cher. Seems like it would have been a sure hit (though I confess in some ways I like songwriter Desmond Child's version better)

1/2 breed - angry, pissed Cher - 🌟

Cher - The Way of Love (The Farewell Tour)

This is a great song first released in 1972, and it was a fairly big hit reaching #7 on the Billboard chart. But it remains somewhat not highly remembered. After all these years and all of Cher's hits, it remains one of my favorites.

I always liked "Dark Lady."

It's CHEE, OP.

signed,

DL

Very early and other versions are more famous, but love her rendition of “Alfie.”

Heart of Stone

Cher's talked about doing a country album for years. But she has occasionally sung country on records and TV. I love this album cut from her "Dark Lady" album, "Just What I've Been Looking For." The album also has an excellent cover of the Irving Berlin standard "What'll I Do?"

I love her version of The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore. (And the episode of the X Files that featured it.)

"Walking in Memphis"

"Train of Thought" deserves a mention.

How did she not get cancelled for dressing like an Indian and calling herself a "half-breed?"

We were very naive back then. Terry Jacks never had another hit after "Seasons in the Sun" because we all believed he had died.

My favorite is "Living in a House Divided".

"One by One" the 'urban' single version.

"take me home" - so glorious and fun, and a bit wistful

I remember The Sonny and Cher Show from when I was a kid. I cannot help it...I always will love this:

RetroTVCentral posted this, great clips of TV shows with gypsies in the plot line set to... you guessed it, "Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves!" FUN

Cher - "You Wouldn't Know Love" (1990)

This deep track from her most recent album, Closer To The Truth (2013)

Love the ‘hook’ and oh how I relate to the lyrics…

You better sit down kids...

I Paralyze

All or Nothing

R27 Dancing Queen and Christmas are 2 albums after that one.

"Bad Love" is the same as "Hot Stuff" with some minor chord changes.

OP's song is pretty catchy and it's raunchy as fuck. It's blatantly about fucking.

One by One

Is After All underrated? It was the love song from a Cybil Shepherd/RDJ movie.

R34 hate it

Save Up All Your Tears embodies the category, so it gets my vote.

But I will die on the Hell On Wheels hill all by my lonesome.

The last 2 songs on the Take Me Home LP have gut wrenching vocals and always stood out to me as some her best work: It’s Too Late to Love Me Now and My Song (Too Far Gone). I think both were about Greg Allman.

Holy Smoke

I always liked her cover of Melanie’s Brand New Key from one of her 70s variety shows. I wish this had been released on an album or compilation.

You're going to have to Google this one since there's no video - The Man That Got Away from the Bittersweet White Light album.

I Walk Alone, from the Closer to the Truth album. It was fun to hear Cher revisit the Gypsies/Dark Lady sound.

Ooga Boo

"The First Time," a country-esque tune from Cher's "3614 Jackson Highway" album, one of her best. Cher was 23 and decided to do an album without Sonny in control of production...

R39 Now that is truly obscure.

5 15 Yes she had talked about doing a country album. She joked she wanted to duet with her longtime friend Merle Haggard but couldn't wrap her mind around Cher and Haggard.

Here is a Merle cover she did.

Walking in Memphis. While the song itself is a cover of Marc Cohn's original, Cher brings a distinct depth and emotion to her version that often gets overlooked. Her rendition combines her unmistakable voice with a soulful interpretation that makes it stand out to me. Cher infuses the song with a sense of journey, and reflection.

^^"He asked are you a Christian?"

"I said Man, I am tonight."

"Walkin' in Memphis. Waaakin' in Memphis."

“One By One”

“The Way of Love”

R3 Perfection is, well, perfection. Should have been a single.

I honestly don't like her music and never have but always liked her unique approach to acting and think she was a talented actor. Very unique.

She loved her some Beavis and Butt-Head:

"I Paralyze" and the underrated "Love and Understanding" are great.

This mix of "One By One" is my favorite version of the song.

I really love that If I could turn back time. I know it’s kinda cheesy pop/rock but it’s something about the melody I fucks with. I discovered it I guess about 20 yrs after its release when I was going through my self acceptance phase and was listening to a lot of adult pop radio. This and George Michael’s Teacher song really spoke to me.

I really like 'I Hate To Sleep Alone'

I Parakyze. Produced by John Farrar. Cher was going for an Olivia Newton-John sound like her song Magic. Olivia’s long time producer worked with Cher for the song I Paralyze. The song flopped but it’s still a great song from 1982.

This is wot ya need

You Wouldn’t Know Love

Give Our Love A Fighting Chance

Is "Heart of Stone" too famous to qualify? I feel like it's overshadowed by "If I Could Turn Back Time."

If I Could Bend Way Down I’d Suck Myself Off

Underrated? I love Cher but think most all of her music is overrated.

"A Young Girl"

R64 Cher was so fucking pretty when she was young. She’s like one of those people that looks like they could be any race.

I adore Cher's cover of Walking in Memphis... I love the bit where she sings "he said are you a Christian child? And I said, man I aaahm tonight". It is one of my favourite Cher's although it is a cover.

I don't know if it's underrated but I really like "Just Like Jesse James."

I know that on some narrow street our paths will cross, our eyes will meet and love with leave me at his feet. I'm waiting for The Gunman.

Used to love Cher but the reality of her being a truly narcissistic bitch makes me say enough-go away cunt.

R69 what about your false idol Madonna?
