Image via WikipediaI received a wonderful CD/DVD to review recently. I have to admit, I am not a huge fan of Rod Stewart's but while listening to the first disc I was reminded how much I like his early music:Maggie May, Mandolin Wind, Every Picture tells a Story, Stay With Me, You Wear it Well
All great songs that I think are his finest.
Disc two only held one that I actually like:
Forever Young

I'm a big fan of Rod Stewart up until 1975 when he "sold out" in my opinion. Some of my favorite songs of his are Stay With Me, Miss Judy's Farm, Maybe I'm Amazed, Ooh La La, Jailhouse Rock (Jeff Beck Group), Handbags and Gladrags, Street Fighting Man, (I Know) I'm Loosing You, Maggie May, Reason To Believe, Every Picture Tells A Story, Twisin' The Night Away, and You Wear It Well.
Yeah, I'm with you on this one. Three CDs would be wasted on me as I'd only ever play about the first half dozen songs. Those early singles and his work with the Faces are all I can stomach with Rod.
I used to play 'A Nod's as Good as a Wink...' endlessly back in the day.
Faces, yes. Mandolin Wind (just that album) yes. Do I think he's sexy? I'd rather stitch that portion of my anatomy shut than let him in :P
Mark,
Yep, he got kinda weird after that...
Hey Music O! Well so far we are all in agreement.
STARR!!!! LOL! I have never heard that before so I am sure you made it up. I don't think he's sexy either (ick!) but he sure had a lot of hot looking wives.
Just one Faces track somehow underplays that bands importance in Stewart's early career don't you think? Like most people that have already commented, its Faces or pre-"Sailing" era for me. I'd add his vocal on Python Lee Jackson's "In A Broken Dream" as another early Rod Stewart recording worth owning.
