The Rod Stewart Appreciation Thread (singer, dance, rock, album)

Miltamec Soundsquinaez · 02-19-2008, 12:07 AM

He's one of the few artists I can enjoy on soft-rock stations.
Well, I should stop listening to the radio.......,
but I really like the sincerity in his voice.
I really enjoy all his songs, especially Tonight's the Night, and You're in My Heart (guess that's the name)
Put the dating hot models, and weird sexual habits, and wearing pink, skin tight pants, and a hairdo that resembles a wig stolen from The Bengals' dressing room, aside:
and you've got a classy, suave singer, with a sexy side-"If You Think I'm Sexy"
I'd like to hear a new album from him real soon. His music is very delicate, and very soulful, it always puts you in an nice mood, and gives you a general sense of quasi-ecstasy laden easiness.

I don't understand why people insist hes any good, all he does is make shitty music, marries 18 year olds so legally hes not a pedophile but I think we all know what kind of porn is on his computer and then moves onto another when his current wife no longer looks young enough. And his current music? We don't need another Michael Bolton, we hate the one we have. In summary, Rod Stewart fucking sucks.

I put him in the same regard catagory as Sinatra and Franklin and Mercury. He's got one of the better voices thats come to be.

The Unplugged (or is it story tellers) version of "Reason to Believe" with that fiddle solo in the middle, thats roots music at its best. Even the piano accents and fills...jesus I need to find that on my pod.

Rod Steweart is a beast.

And Crowquill, Try "A Nod Is as Good as a Wink...To a Blind Horse."

He was alright in The Faces

Do You Think I'm Sexy is a good song.

You're kidding it's a total piece of shit ridden fluff.

Which just adds to it's appeal strangely enough.

Exactly. It's so f'cuking bad and ridiculous and everything else, you just wanna dance your arse off to it.

TheBig3 · 02-19-2008, 10:18 PM

Even he said it sucked.

Picking this song out to disparage him is like picking every other bands worst song to rate them with...completely unfair if you're not slagging them.

It got its fair share of air play, on the radio & in the Disco clubs in the 70s. Back then people would dance to anything & everything! Of course, they also had easy access to pharmaceutical cocaine. Not what they call cocaine today! I mean 'Bolivia'. Hell....you could dance to Alvin & The Chipmonks if you wanted to. (Do you think Im sexy) Sounds like a song from a cartoon or something. Blame it on DISCO!
