I couldn't agree more.

I've never seen or felt the mad love for it on fan boards or groups as I have for what seem the more obvious demos/outtakes mentioned again & again over the years (Julia, The Dealer, All The Beautiful Worlds, If You Were My Love, She Still Loves Him, The "Rhiannon" songs, etc.) "Starshine" always seemed more like an impromptu studio jam session, that never was completely fleshed out, but more of a groove & idea of a song. It feels incomplete, which underlines the obvious that we've only heard the unfinished outtakes from 1980s Bella Donna sessions. I do appreaciate that unmistakable 70s hammond B3 organ rock n' roll groove that propels the song. I can totally see this being a Enchanted-esque rocker.

I didn't put Starshine on my list here, because of the limit of 10, but it is on my list of hoped for songs in the intial thread about the album. I've loved this song from the first listen - it's those vocals, and the energy. "Playing with fire was....wrong!"

In fact...it was first on my list.

I would really have loved to be looking over her shoulder while Stevie perused these old songs on YouTube - the memories must have prompted hours of reminiscing.

My top 10

Blue Water
I Call You Missing (I know the lyrics have been recycled for Love Is Like A River and Whole Lotta Trouble, but I think ICYM is far superior over both of these. Which is why it bothers me to no end that these two got an official release, ugh End of rant)
Forest Of The Black Roses
Forsaken Love
Have No Heart
24 Karat Gold
All the Beautiful Worlds
Maker Of Birds aka Three Birds Of Rhiannon
Christian aka Spinning Wheels
Joan Of Arc

I didn't dare tally any points because I didn't want to step on the toes or take over Hawkeye's awesome thread idea...

...but I was curious as to which songs everybody wants on this record and how many times that a particular song was on our "wish lists", if you will.

Surprisingly, there were 47 individual songs that made this thread, which means that (if she wanted to) Stevie could easily put out "Songs From the Vault" - Parts 2 and 3 in the future. Highly unlikely, though.

"Forest Of The Black Roses" was written down 14 times, followed by "All The Beautiful Worlds" at 12, "Julia" at 11 and "The Dealer" at 10. This, of course, is just going by the number of times they were on our lists, and not with Hawkeye's points system from #1 choice to #10 choice, which we'll get later.

Interestingly enough, "24 Karat Gold" only made 4 people's list. "Starshine" made 1 list.

Some of the studio sessions that produced Bella Donna included Tom Petty and various Heartbreakers, yet those songs never came to fruition. Sanctuary was one them.

1. Blue Water

I've loved it more than any other unreleased Stevie songs I've ever heard. Well, I also really adore 'Forest of the Black Roses', but 'Blue Water' just leaves them all in the dust. Simple and exquisite.
