Top 10 Best Rod Stewart Songs
From his early days as a member of The Jeff Beck Group and Faces, through to his magnificent solo career, Rod Stewart has crafted a sound that's unmistakably his own. Known for his signature raspy voice, Stewart has dabbled in genres ranging from rock and pop to folk and even the Great American Songbook, leaving a trail of timeless classics.But what truly makes a Rod Stewart song stand out? There are many aspects to consider. It might be Stewart's emotive vocal delivery, painting vivid stories of love, loss, and everything in between. Perhaps it's the memorable melodies, or the potent, sometimes heart-rending lyrics. Or maybe it's the way his music has evolved over the decades, reflecting his growth as an artist and his willingness to experiment with different styles and sounds.
Rod is the best singer-songwriter. I've been following him for 40 years.
Best Rod Stewart song I've heard. I think this song should be number 1.
My favorite song from Sir Rod Stewart! I absolutely love this amazing man! I'm collecting all his original record albums. It has a great beat you can easily dance to.
That thumping bass is so disco. I'm not a big fan of disco, but this song is great. It is sexy but not over the top or done in a tasteless way.
Tempo of this song is too good. It deserves the number one spot!
My favorite, can't believe it's no. 20.
The instruments in this song remind me of "Love My Way" by The Psychedelic Furs, especially the beginning.
Best song, believe me. Vocals, music, lyrics - awesome!
Should be much further up the list!
No one spun rock from soul like the Faces doing I'm Losing You. Who doesn't like Stewart covering Dylan? What a heartfelt, soulful tune Mandolin Wind is. I would much rather hear Stewart's version of That's Alright than Elvis's. Every LP tells a story, doesn't it?
Songs like this are the reason I hated the breakup of the Stewart-Wood songwriting team.
Listening to it now. I can't believe I forgot what a kick-ass song this is.
What a great song with powerful lyrics!
One of the most beautiful songs I've heard. Can't explain. It just hits me in the heart.
Best song off a great album, and yes, I am aware that Maggie May is also on Every Picture Tells a Story, as well as the title song. This is just such an incredible tune, and nobody does heartache quite like Sir Rod. This was written by Tim Hardin, who also wrote If I Were a Carpenter. I also love the way Rod arranges songs.
I love this song. I know that he kind of repeats the same words over and over, but that's the way you feel when brokenhearted. The Carpenters also do a nice version of this. I think I like Rod's better because of the organ.
If this Faces song counts, I think it's up there with Maggie.
I know it's technically the Faces, not Stewart, but come on, this should be number 2.
The Newcomers
This needs to be much, much higher on this list.
Follow-up number one to Maggie May and, in my opinion, better of the two.
Absolute favorite. Crushing and emotional. Poignant and poetic!
This is such a good song about love.
I really like this song and the video of it too. It's awesome!
Though it's fairly common knowledge, I like to point out that this song was written by Cat Stevens.
Followed by I Don't Want to Talk About It and Young Turks.
Why isn't this in the top 10? It's one of his most popular songs.
This song appeared in my dream last night, beautifully sung to me by someone whose face was masked by a veil. It was quite surreal but lovely. Thank you, whoever you are.
Really? Thought this would easily be in the top spot. I also hate the Maggie May song. What the hay.
