I haven't thought of my choices quite yet, but yours are quite interesting. I may share 1 out of the 3 with you, and I probably wouldn't have given the other two consideration, but they're both quite valid. Fun stuff.

Hands down Midnight Wind! One of the greatest harmony vocals ever.
Seven Wonders, Talk to Me, Mirror Mirror

Beautiful Child
Midnight Wind
Dreams
Sleeping Angel
Gypsy

Would probably be my top 5. No particular order, other than Beautiful Child - which is by far the best vocal of her career.

Whenever I Call You Friend is the first one that comes to mind, I really wish she had recorded some material with THAT voice.

Beauty and the Beast
Beautiful Child
Crystal

My favorite vocal of hers will probably always be the background wails she does on Walter Egan's Tunnel Of Love. They're just so witchy & primal! It's still hard to believe she was convinced to participate in such a raunchy song.

I actually think some of the best vocals Stevie has contributed are backing vocals- case & point, the sultry vocal she contributed to Marilyn Martin's Sorcerer. Like others have mentioned, her backing vocals on Jon Stewart's Midnight Wind are amongst her most epic studio vocals. The emotion captured on Storms is unmatched- it sounds like she recorded the song right after a big cry. I think the most beautiful vocal she ever recorded was Beautiful Child. So I have many favorites for different reasons.

Live vocals are another animal altogether... that's probably best discussed in a separate thread.

Stevie's voice was strongest in 1981. She killed her first solo tour. The entire Bella Donna album has amazing vocals.

Sable on Blonde is a highlight for me. I love the yell "IN YOUR HANDS EACH NIGHT!"

Edge of 17 is pretty good too.

Sleeping Angel

Pretty much everything recorded from 1980 to 1983 is amazing

At Last

the Mirror Mirror outtake from Street Angel

and the RAL outtake of Lady From the Mountain

ETA: how could i forget B&TB. Any live version from 2006 really or the Vegas 05 one

and the RAW unedited HoB show in 1994 when she was super sick. I get chills listening to some of those songs. You could tell they were an effort and the whole show is marvellous.
