OP, I suggest you skip most of her early albums, it took her a long time to get consistent commercial and critical success when her career started. Cher really came into her own during the 70s and 80s with her rock style, and peaked in the 90s/00s with her disco-electro-dance-pop combo, she's the original comeback queen. Overall I'd pick these 6 albums: The Sonny Side of Cher (1966) Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves (1971) Cher (1987) Heart of Stone (1989) Believe (1998) Living Proof (2001) Bonus: Closer To The Truth (for pure gay bangers) P.S Check out the many cover versions of 'Bang Bang', even Gaga covered it.

nswain1110 3,066 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 "Heart of Stone" is Cher's best album, imo. Though I'm biased because my mom used to play it a lot when I was a kid.

Italian 573 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I'd also suggest listening to Greatest Hits compilations as she has some really songs here and there in the 70s, e.g. Half-Breed, Dark Lady, Take Me Home, Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rumours 45,521 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Cher hasn’t really released that many good albums if I’m being totally honest (no shade whatsoever). Your best off sticking with Cher (1987), Heart of Stone (1989) and Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves (1971). I might add on All I Really Want To Do (1965) as well. That’s really all I’d suggest. Some people like Believe, but for me it has aged very poorly and is almost unlistenable at this point. Hope this helps! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavis Gary 364 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Now, this might just be me but...

sethrb101 4,523 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I love all of Cher’s hits and a collection of other songs I’ve gathered over the years. I really need to dive deep into her discography, though. We love a legend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She likes to transition into different genres and styles of music as it evolves, and tends to take a break musically for other projects. Her eras span decades rather than an album cycle, so reinventing herself takes longer than most artists. Family and other things get in the way too of course, for example, she divorced her ex-partner Sonny in the 70s, and she put out barely any music back then. But generally her releases come in bouts followed by quietness: 60s - 80s: Folk pop to Rock 80s - 00s: Rock to Disco/Electronic She did drop a few albums in the 90s though, and 'The Shoop Shoop' song was a big hit. But 'Believe' rocketed her career way past her previous success, and made her famous among every generation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
