IF you end up going to the Road Stewart concert - a threadful of Rod Stewart songs

[Icy Gull]

Post one you'd like him to sing and one you'd not want to hear

Love to hear him do this classic Tim Hardin (?) song



Well he inevitably will do this even though I'd like him to give it a miss personally, the only version I like is the original by Sutherland Brothers and Quiver

 

[MJsGhost]

A slight mis-reading of the thread title has thrown up a rather apt collective noun for Rod Stewart songs: a dreadful

 

[Simster]

I'm saving my pennies for SIR CLIFF.

I do hope the club organises more concerts by people who ceased to be relevant around 1986, ideally at £55 a pop.

The size of the crowd will be telling if this is actually true, however I think you may be proved wrong.

I am not a big fan of anything he has done since he joined the Faces, with a couple of notable exceptions. Killing of Georgie being one, but there ARE plenty of people who still find him relevant imo. My wife for a kick off

Just this one I think (but he didn't sing on it)

Or any of this lot

[Hiney]

The first single I bought, a LONG time ago. Still got it somewhere

Is he reading the lyrics in this video?

Relevant? Are you sure?

Albums since 1995:

1995 Spanner in the Works - a covers album
1998 When We Were The New Boys - a covers album
2001 Human - 5 of the 11 songs are covers
2002 Great American Songbook vol 1 - covers album
2003 Great American Songbook vol 2 - more sodding covers.
2004 Great American Songbook vol 3 - yep, more covers
2005 Great American Songbook vol 4 - this is getting a bit boring now
2006 Still The Same (Great Rock Classics of our Time) - covers, covers and more covers
2009 Soulbook - an album of covers. That's a surprise.
2010 Once In a Blue Moon (The Lost Album) - previously unreleased album of covers
2010 Great American Songbook vol 5 - what's left to cover? The Mickey Mouse Song and the words to a Pepsi advert probably.
2012 Merry Christmas, Baby - Christmas covers. Kill me.
2013 Time - Hooray! This has originals on it but guess what? There's 6 covers that he's stuck in there. Because he likes that sort of thing.

Sorry but 2 decades crooning covers rather damns the man as a lazy old fart.

 

[symyjym]

I was dragged along to see him at the Brighton Centre on his "Do ya think I'm sexy tour" by my elder sister when I was 11. I hated it!

Does anyone else think that with age he looks more and more like Barry Manilow?

Seperated at birth maybe?

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Not a massive fan but always liked In a broken dream written and first performed by Python Lee Jackson.
On my mobile so no idea how to put it on here from you tube, if someone would be so kind I would like to hear it in my van.

 

[The Large One]

Well, there is this 'mod classic'...

Sadly I DO know people who still think he's great and love his American songbooks etc, may not be relevant to you but he still keeps selling records. Brian Ferry has followed a similar path. I was dragged to see him in Portsmouth a few years ago and whilst having a break in the bar during his crooning I overheard two women of about 40 talking about how Ferry was "sex on legs". I did almost spit my drink out but it proves that these guys ARE still relevant, maybe not in ground breaking songs I accept. Then again you could make the relevant argument about the Stones but look at the crowds they still draw.

 

[Icy Gull]

Does he still do this?

Edit, just noticed Raleigh Chopper's post - here ya go

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

Post one you'd like him to sing and one you'd not want to hear

Love to hear him do this classic Tim Hardin (?) song



Well he inevitably will do this even though I'd like him to give it a miss personally, the only version I like is the original by Sutherland Brothers and Quiver

1. It is a Tim Hardin song, and I much prefer Mr hardin's version.
2. Agree about Sailing - much prefer the original from the Sutherland Brothers.

I just hope he steers away from doing "standards".

 

[Icy Gull]

Well, there is this 'mod classic'...

[yt]Gp0kU65rI5c[/yt]

The classic bit was tongue in cheek, I hope. That is dreadful, 1st time I've heard it.

No, it's a 'mod classic', played at the scooter dos.

And it's pretty good. For Rod Stewart.

 

[lawros left foot]

Pool hall Richard and Mandolin Wind, i could almost forgive him anything for those two belters alone

 

[Seagull on the wing]

Pool hall Richard and Mandolin Wind, i could almost forgive him anything for those two belters alone

My favourite song from Rod...he wrote it.. (Mandolin Wind).but the Mandolin playing was a stroke of genius...don't know who played the mandolin,rumour it was the Mandolin player from 'Lindisfarne' how true that was I don't know...terrific.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Does he still do this?

Edit, just noticed Raleigh Chopper's post - here ya go

Thanks, enjoyed listening to that driving along, great song.
