I got up at a piano bar one time and sang that and I'm amazed (due to the fact that by that point I had a few beers in me) that I made it through.

The great thing about Stevie/Lindsey songs (Dreams, Angel, Beautiful Child, Crystal, etc. etc.) is that you can sing the lead while you're driving and be all into it, and when you pull up to a red light next to someone you can switch to 'back-up' and tune it down a notch so they don't see you

As for the guitar solos, I almost passed out trying to sing along to the guitar at the end of "Gypsy" one time. It's quite a load! "Eyes of the World" and "Wrong" are a lot of fun to sing too, and "Don't Let Me Down Again" which I think is one of my personal fav's.

Awesome question :-)
I used to sing soprano in a choir, so I often go for the higher harmonies But the best high harmonies are Stevie's in her early days, for example her harmony on Say You Love Me, it kicks *ss
as for guitar solos, you should hear me wail the I'm So Afraid-bit
