Free Music Notes for The Very Best of Rod Stewart

Free Music Review: Very Best?, Hardly, not even good Rod Stewart
Hit: 1 Stars

This compilation contains many Stewart "hits", but mostly weaker material, with his Mercury albums (especially the first 4) and his albums with the Faces being where you find the true classic Rod Stewart. If you just want a smattering of hits including the horrible "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy", et al, then buy this. But if you want really quality Stewart in a compilation get "The Mercury Anthology" or even better: "Reason To Believe: The Complete Mercury Years", these have all his truly best work, not necessarily his big hits, which went significantly down hill after 1973 or so. On this compilation, Rod's version of "Ooh La La", a song he originally scorned when released by the Faces with Ron Wood singing, is just awful and smacks of pandering, as the song had just made a comeback due to a t.v. ad featuring the Faces version.
As I said before, if you want a compilation, get Reason to Believe or Mercury Anthology or if you want more get "the Rod Stewart Album", "Gasoline Alley", "Every Picture Tells A Story" & "Never A Dull Moment", plus "Long Player", "A Nod IS As Good As A Wink", & "Ooh La La" by the Faces and if you still want more classic Stewart get "Truth" & "Beck-ola" by the Jeff Beck Group featuring young Rod on vocals and Ron Wood on bass and has some of his rawest, most bluesy vocals. The above listed albums constitute the TRUE "Very Best of Rod Stewart", if quality, not chart success is you goal.

The Very Best of Rod Stewart Poster

Rod Stewart's career has been subject to so many twists that a single-disc overview is somehow both appealingly broad and inadequate to the task of tracing all those zigzags. From beloved rocker of the first order to disco dilettante to pop crooner, Stewart's career has presented challenges to fans who may have been charmed by the rollickingly randy "Maggie May" and bemused by the alarmingly narcissistic "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" This 16-song retrospective touches all the bases without delving deeply into any era. The selections aren't arranged sequentially and the booklet is much more generous with vintage photos than album credits. This best-of collection is clearly aimed at the casual fan, but no album that presents Rod the Mod gems "Downtown Train," "You Wear It Well," and "Reason to Believe" one after another is a throwaway. --Steven Stolder
