rod stewart albums

left lot of my cds behind when split with my ex.

looking to replace my rod stewart ones.

which are the better albums?

just got time from charity shop which is what set me thinking.

A nod's as good as a wink to a blind horse.....oops thats the faces....

Blondes have more fun

Foot loose and fancy free

Never a dull moment...

Ok for starters....?

If you want an early classic, try 'An old raincoat won't ever let you down' - 1969 vintage, and one of the tracks is Handbags and Gladrags (made famous much later by the Stereophonics as the theme tune for The Office, and written by Mike D'Abo, lead singer of Manfred Man).

Gasoline Alley and Every Picture Tells a Story would be the next two on my list, both early albums.

Anything he did with the Faces or the Jeff Beck Group (especially Truth)

Neil

soak in hot water and make flowerpots

This should suffice:

Rod Stewart was never the same for me after the Kenny Everett parody. The one where the buttocks of Rod's tight leopardskin trousers gradually inflate while he sings

If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
Come on, sugar, let me know
If you really need me, just reach out and touch me
Come on, honey, tell me so,

Now I'm worried I dreamt it and have told you all far too much about my Freudian sub-conscious...

Dave

anything taken from a live performance - far more atmospheric and 'listenable' than the studio stuff. Ignore any negatives comments - what do they know about it?

Does he read the forum? Likes a bit of railway modelling.. he does ...

Rod's 'pop' records are far more listenable than most of the genre, but the question was "which are best" and I would say it's indisputable that his ballads aren't a patch on his blues or other early stuff.

Neil

Agree with Neil, all the old Faces stuff etc....before he moved to the US.

Rod who?

Nah, that was Kenney Jones the drummer

.

Worth a watch.

Not an album but a DVD. Has a bit of everything from his early to later material. Should tick all the boxes if you are a Rod fan.

Nick

"5 guys walk into a bar " covers most Faces stuff

This interview by Russell Hartey cracks me up **LINK**
