I'm not much for her early (BN, FM album) vocals. She was young and didn't seem to entirely know her own voice, as is often the case. I don't think she was anything special, as a vocalist, until Rumours.

Sew, here's my list:

Dreams
Bella Donna
Storms
Gold & Braid (live version from Enchanted)
Sable on Blond
Gypsy
Wild Heart

Rock a Little
I Sing for the Things
(Yes, her voice was going on these two, but she rocked what she had, which is what makes them great, IMO)

Beauty & the Beast
Sisters of the Moon
Silver Springs (The Dance)

Lightbulb Best AND most emotional...

Sara...cleaning lady...especially the long version ending.
Storms...acoustic un mixed vocal guitar and drum...the one that ends in trail...uuuuhahu...ahhhh...oohhh.
but the most stellar from Fleetwood Mac...
Gypsy. Long version. ...I can't find you..."

Solo...
I Sing for the things...fragile, emotional,,,
Highway man...same as above reason
Beauty and the beast...same reason..
Listen To The Rain...pure rock grit...stellar vocals.

Cheaper Than Free...ahhh another great example of lush vocals...
The End Of That Cheesy Song...Smiling Islands. Ps...what was that whole deal about? It is never really discussed...but...I love her emoting vocals as she closes the song.

All Time Favorites...
After The Glitter Fades...my all time favorite song...and started the love affair when I was a kid and it was playing on headphones piped in airline music in flight.

Gypsy...the whole deep gravity in her vocals...to the soaring parts...all started with MTV and the video.

Default My favorites

Gypsy
Enchanted
Angel
Beauty and the Beast
Rhiannon slow acoustic

I see this thread says RECORDED vocals but I have enjoyed her voice the most live because there are more possibilities for nuance. Strong to me doesn't just mean a belted vocal, but the feeling projected by the instrument. Live performances have brought tears to my eyes on more than one occasion. I think the actress in her comes out strongly during concerts, especially solo tour.
