Rod Stewart - crap/not crap

[FiFi]

He's been around so long he's part of the sound track of my childhood.
I confess I enjoy a lot of his mid/late 70's solo stuff.

I'm just embarrassed it took me so long to discover his earlier work.

He wasn't in the Small Faces. That was Steve Marriott.

Faces, Small Faces, I get them mixed up.

Alright, the Jeff Beck Group was good.

Heard a song by rod and the Faces called "Country Comforts" and it massively reminded me of The Raconteurs slower ones - check it out, see if you agree!

Alright, the Jeff Beck Group was good.

Good lord, how can you get it so wrong so often?

 

[Mallard]

The Faces weren't decent; they were one of the greatest rock n roll bands ever.

That's what made it so sad that Rod went bad.

I prefer Small Faces myself especially the first Immeadiate LP.

Rod's ok.

Reviving an old thread I missed.
Rod is great. link
Just the amount of work he's done for the music industry should earn him a knighthood. I met him a few times at the Marquee in his early days along with Long John Baldry.
The performance he last gave at the Diana concert shows he still has it.

I met him a few times at the Marquee in his early days along with Long John Baldry.

I like the really early stuff too, with Jeff Beck, for eg, things like You Shook Me which Led Zep later covered
