'If I listen long enough to you"

[the Princess]

I'd find a way to believe that it's all true....




The *OLD Rod - the *BEST* Rod!

[Squeech]

1. Yeah, but

Tim Hardin wrote the song, and his version is better.

Rod's best songs are the ones with mandolins in them. Coincidence? I think not! (As it happens, I'm a mandolin player.)

[Robroy]

2. "Every Picture Tells A Story"

A classic, and imho, his best. And I believe his debut album.

[Squeech]

3. No

I remember it being his third, after the eponymous debut album and Gasoline Alley.

But Allmusic also lists something called An Old Raincoat Will Never Let You Down, which I don't believe I've ever heard.

But yeah, I agree it's his best. And it's the mandolin that makes it. (Well, and the overall rollicking ambience of the title track.)

[Richardo]

6. If I had to pick one, that would be it.

"EPTAS" is about the only Rod Stewart song I like.

4. Mandolin solidarity, Squeech!

Eight strings here, too!

:bounce:

[Kenneth ken]

5. No

that's the YOUNG Rod

this is the OLD Rod


I'm told he still puts on a good show, though.

7. My parents just saw him in Atlantic City

I got them tickets; they LOVE Rod, the old stuff and the new. They had a great time. :-)
