Roderick David "Rod" Stewart is a British rock singer-songwriter. Born and raised in London, he is of Scottish and English ancestry. The great talent artist, that love to sing and to give awesome shows, enjoy from make others peoples happy and joy, write an amazing songs and gibe the best performance. he is still jump, run, kick footballs and tells jock just like he used to do when he was younger, but changed his behave and become a truly family man. He us never forget when he's came from, and terrific to all his fans. Last week at Glasgow said again to his fans that he would never become Sir and what he is without them. I feel blast to love him since I was a child. Rod is very talent in so many things, and every concert of him, all across the pond, become so quick sold out. he is the right and the perfect choose. In 11.10.16 he was knighthood by prince William, and became a Sir.
50+ years in the music business, no other artist has stood the test of time quite like Rod. He has a very distinct voice and his showmanship is second to none... really gives his all to his fans on the stage. Great sense of humor and look how he has turned into quite the family man. Elton John himself called Rod Stewart the greatest Rock 'n Roll singer of all time.
First and foremost; Rod Stewart is a great songwriter. Maggie May was the first a-tipical popsong in history. Meanig it what not a song like all other, storfe-chorus-strofe but had no chorus at all only the words are so well put together that it grew to an unbeatable sing a long. And his voice; well...it is so unique there is no comparison. Chuck Berry thought he was black, so did James brown. Bob dylan call's Rod the best singer in rock's history.
Rod Stewart is the greatest ambasador Britain can ask for.
Good grief! He's NOT the greatest British solo artist. There are many far better than he is. For starters, he has an awful, raspy voice! And all the great British singers and entertainers were knighted a LONG TIME before him.

Steven John Wilson is an English musician, singer, songwriter and record producer, most closely associated with the progressive rock genre. He is best known for his band Porcupine Tree. Love his music both with Porcupine Tree and his solo work. Didn't know of him until 2017, but not since I discovered Pink Floyd in the late 70s has new music made such an impact on me. Love his voice too, he sings with so much emotion. If you like music such as Pink Floyd, Beatles, Radiohead, Moody Blues etc. check out his solo work. My favorite albums are "Insurgentes" and "Hand. Cannot. Erase", but they are all fantastic, and then check out Porcupine Tree for example the songs: "Anesthetize", "Arriving somewhere but not here", and "Time flies" I promise you, you will not regret it. Steven Wilson is such a musical genius and a great singer too.
My favorite music of all time!
