I love Stevie's vocal on Straight Back.

Not my favorite song, but I love when she sings like this. Its just an overall cool and moody song.

Great list. I'd also add That's Alright & Rhiannon.

Sara and Gold Dust Woman.

For a live performance I'll say the classic 1976 performance of Rhiannon that was featured on the The Old Grey Whistle Test.

penned Gypsy
however, overall (penned, or not penned) Seven Wonders - it was just perfect

Beautiful Child, just because she sounds like her heart is breaking when she sings the "I wish that you were mine" line.

Mirror, Mirror might have been my choice had it made an album. Her vocal is great on that. It makes the song.

Even though its not a Mac song, her vocal on Smiling Islands KILLS ME. I think she did this right after the Tusk tour so her vocal is hoarse and frail but they way she sing those lines...

"I don't want those lies in my bed/better just to end it/than cheat on whats left". Killer.

I think Gypsy is much richer and mature sounding. I also love "That's All Right" .

Silver Springs from The Dance is her best recent FM vocal.
There was just something about Rhiannon on the White Album that seemed to weave a spell on all of us young girls at the time, hey, we all wanted to be Stevie Nicks and the guys wanted to date Stevie Nicks. There was a force in her voice then. I agree about it never coming back, not after she shredded the **** out of her vocal chords night after night. There was a crispness to her vocals on the Dance....and Silver Springs on that album was to me her best. Shame she lost the higher range though.

Thinking about this answer has led me to wonder if anyone else seems to think that Stevie's vocals were better on her solo work than FM when she was running 2 gigs back in the 80's?

Gypsy and Silver Springs from The Dance, for sure. I'd also add Sara & Dreams.

Best: Gold Dust Woman (Studio Version, Doesn't get much better, and truly a classic rock tune)

Runner-up: Rhiannon (White Album studio version shows the vocals we all wish Stevie could have maintained, although I think the ever-changing voice is what's made her so endearing and interesting. I would have like just one more song sung like that though.)
