Well, there's one that strikes me most because of it's energy, and yet it never got any attention, and that's Gold and Braid. The song is just packed with energy, and I feel if it were given the attention it deserves, it would have hit it big. There are many others I feel this way about, but I just think that live version from the 1981 In Concert tape is just great -- it's Stevie summed up in one song. She goes crazy on the tambourine, she belts, she bounces and dances around...this performance had it all.

I noticed you mentioned your shock of Sara being a chart hit Tommer because it doesn't have a chorus. Lyrically, it doesn't have a chorus, but if you listen, the music does loop into verse and chorus. "Drowning in the sea of love..." is the same music as "Said Sara, you're the poet in my heart..." I am admittedly surprised it is one of Stevie's highest chart hits though. I could picture it in the top 20, but when I saw it was #7, I was pretty surprised.
