I think they're both good but Barracuda is more impressive. Alone has more effects, including her voice being triple layered at the end when she wails the last "alone" lyric.
As a bonus here is Roger Fisher's isolated guitar for Barracuda.
I just recently discovered that there are isolated vocal tracks from many artists on YouTube. For those who don't know what the term refers to, it's just the raw vocal track without any of the instrumentation so you can hear every syllable and every breath the singer utters.
Some of these...
This is a really old, well-written review but what motivated me to post is just how good that video of Cook with Fire is. For people who never "got" Heart in the 80s when they were singing hair metal and power ballads, that Cook with Fire video shows exactly what was great about this band...

When I hear that song and compare it to rock classics like Crazy on You, Magic Man, and Barracuda I just shake my head. Hell, it even makes their worst 80s stuff sound great by comparison.
Some would call this just plain bad, but I have to admit I liked it as a kid when it was first released. The badly dated video doesn't help it's cause.
