- “After the Glitter Fades” (from Bella Donna, 1981) No Nicks song captures her voice like “After the Glitter Fades.” It begins ruefully looking out from the Hollywood Hills — she “never thought she’d make it” in Tinseltown.
- “Edge of Seventeen” (from Bella Donna, 1981) Ever inspired by conversational minutiae, Nicks caught one of her greatest songs from a chat with Tom Petty’s wife, Jane.
- “If Anyone Falls” (from The Wild Heart, 1983) “If Anyone Falls” constructs a vivid, three-dimensional scene of bodies in space. There’s Nicks, ear pressed against a wall listening to a man’s voice.
- “Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You?” (from Rock a Little, 1985) In 1974, Joe Walsh tasted tragedy. His daughter, Emma, was involved in a car accident, passing away at only three years old.

This is the closest she will ever come to sounding like Madonna. And the electronic dance vibe suits her better than most people would've guessed before she cut this track, which somehow charted higher on the Mainstream Rock chart than the dance chart. It's among her most infectious hits, with all the touchstones of a massive '80s pop hit — out of ...
Nicks wrote this song about the end of her relationship with Buckingham while work was underway on "Rumours," where it would've been surrounded by a bunch of tracks about the end of that relationship. Which may explain why the guitar riff sounds like such a natural extension of "Rhiannon" from Fleetwood Mac's previous album. It never made it past t...
This long-discarded gem from the Buckingham Nicks album made its unexpected live debut on the opening night of the 24 Karat Gold Tour in Phoenix, where she told us, “This was gonna be the single off the Buckingham Nicks record. It was so long ago, I don’t actually remember if it ever was the single or made it out." It's the opening track on the alb...
This is among the biggest hits she wrote for Fleetwood Mac, a wistful pop song that romanticizes the lifestyle she enjoyed with Buckingham before they made it. There are references to Nicks' favorite clothing store where Janis Joplin used to buy her clothes in San Francisco, and the way she used to pretty up their mattress on the floor with lace an...
Released as the lead single from her "Rock a Little" album, "Talk to Me" is one of Nicks' biggest solo hits. It spent two weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and peaked at No. 4 on Billboard's Hot 100. It was written by Chas Sanford, who'd co-written one of the previous year's big rock hits, John Waite's "Missing You." Nicks ...
It's not at all uncommon to find her sitting on a classic song for years or even decades. That was certainly the case with "Sorcerer," a song she wrote in the Buckingham Nicks days and didn't release until "Trouble In Shangri-La." It almost made it onto "Tusk" and was recorded then shelved during sessions for 1983's "The Wild Heart." A recording by...
This song clearly held a special place in Nicks' heart. Not only did she choose it to open her solo debut, but she also named the album after it. In an interview with Rolling Stone tied to the album's release, she talked about the title track, a deeply moving portrait of a beautiful woman who's so tired, she disappears. It's "basically a warning to...
This synth-driven gem from "The Wild Heart" was written as Nicks was falling out love with one person, falling in love with another, a time when — as she noted in the liner notes to "Timespace" — "Nothing else seemed to matter except this person." There's a dreamlike quality to the production and the lyrics as she sings of "dealing with a man when ...
In a 1997 interview with VH1, Nicks said this song was "really my symbolic look about somebody going through a bad relationship, and doing a lot of drugs, and trying to… just make it, trying to live, trying to get through it to the next thing." It also draws on her experience of watching groupies operate. As she told Crawdaddy in 1976, it's "about ...
This romantic ballad was her second hit duet from "Bella Donna," hitting No. 6 on Billboard's Hot 100. Nicks had written this one as the title track for Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter's 1981 duets album "Leather and Lace," but for whatever reason, that fell through. So Nicks recorded her own version with Don Henley. And it sounds like something t...

- Edge of Seventeen. I am going to kick start this list with Edge of Seventeen since it rightfully deserves the top place. It is also my personal favorite, so I’m going to be slightly biased with its placement!
- Rooms On Fire. This addictive piece of art was released in 1989 and belonged to the album The Other Side of The Mirror. Again, the beat is very uplifting, and Stevie’s own voice further adds to the drama.
- Stand Back. Stand Back is a rock musical piece released with the album “The Wild Heart” in 1983 and is still loved worldwide! The official music video features Stephanie herself and other talented dancers showing off their skills in youthful, attractive wardrobes.
- Leather And Lace. From the album Bella Donna released in 1981, this song was sung in collaboration by Don Henley and Stevie Nicks. True to its name, the song is light, romantic, and very sweet.
