Goodbye Baby/Tower....the vocal she managed on the album version breaks my heart but the lyrics always reduce me to tears.
Twisted... my favorite song with incredibly meaningful lyrics
Fall From Grace....including verses she dropped on the album
Storms
Wild Heart...so heartwrenching
Beauty and the Beast
China Doll
Trouble in ShangriLa...some of her best writing ever
Silver Springs
Gypsy

I have ten but I must mention Stand Back and Edge. They both rock so hard that it tends to disguise the intensity and sadness in the lyrics. Stand Back is heartbreaking actually and her words touch me immensely. I am not sure if I think this is something that Stevie did intentionally..like LB does with particularly vulnerable lyrics...he covers them up with screaming or mumbling vocals and loud, aggressive and manic guitar work. Stand Back and Edge are very intense and heartwrenching songs that reflect a sad, lonely time for Stevie but she made them into rockers....
