Are there any Rod Stewart fans out there? I know that he received much criticism for "selling out" and deserting his roots when he moved to America in the mid-1970s. However, I could listen to his voice all day.
The thing about Rod is that he can make even the most mediocre material sound interesting. He is also a wonderful interpreter of other people's songs.
It is common to cite 1969-1972 as Rod's peak period, but in many ways I prefer the mid-to-late 1970s stuff, which was expertly produced by Tom Dowd.

Thanks for those songs strad. My mum got a bunch of Rod Stewart albums lying around.

Strangely, Rod's voice has become mellower and sweeter as he has got older. This is the reverse of what usually happens with singers.BleedingGums wrote:I saw him a long long time ago, and I must admit, he was shit hot live...
I don't listen any more but on the back of this thread, perhaps I'll dust off one of his LP's...
