Definitely one of the greats as far as opening lines go, as far as the greatest? I have to throw one at you that’s a pretty close tie to me, “if I leave here tomorrow” from Skynyrd’s free bird. Kind of apples an oranges comparison but I can’t let there be a talk about the greatest opening line without mentioning free bird lol

My Rod Stewart story involves my mom! I was a freshman at N. Texas State in fall of 1973. Mom, in her late 40s at this time, was an Austin, TX-based entertainment booking agent who booked singles and bands at clubs and conventions nationwide. One day in early October, '73, while visiting one of her clients in Albuquerque, NM (Holiday Inn, where an act she booked was playing), she saw a huge, black limo pull up in front of the hotel. Piling out of the limo, to hear her tell it, unfolded several "scraggly," skinny, long-haired guys in pink and green satin pants (opening in town for Rory Gallagher at the U of NM on their US tour). "These look like musicians Brad (me) would know," she said to herself, and true to her nature, boldly asked the perfect gentlemen, "OK, which one of you is the leader?" Rod quickly stepped up, her account continues, and kindly autographed a yellow business pad sheet to me, which Mom surprised me with in a "care package" from home the next week! Thanks, Rod and lads, for being nice to me Mum!

Gents, I would react to "Stay With Me" by The Faces, with Rod on lead vocals, before doing any more solo Stewart. It did well in one of your polls, has shown a lot of support from subscribers, and I think it's a good song as well. Then I would return to solo Stewart with "You Wear It Well", his 2nd best known solo song from his classic early '70s period, and I think rightfully so; it's a great song. I'm writing this before seeing your reaction to "Maggie May", and will reply to this comment if I think there's anything I should add or change after seeing your reaction. I'm glad that you're hearing "Maggie May". It's a mega-classic that anyone who wants to learn about '70s rock should hear, if they haven't already.

In Springsteen’s book he writes, “If you were lucky enough to be born with an instrument & the instinctive knowledge to know what to do with it, you are blessed indeed. Even after all my success I sit in envy of Rod Stewart, Bob Seger,, Sam Moore and many other greats who can sing magnificently and know what to do with it. My vocal imperfections made me work harder on my writing, my band leading, my performing and my singing. I learned to excel at those elements of my craft in a way I might otherwise never had if I had a more perfect instrument.” If you haven’t read his autobiography, Born to Run, I highly recommend it!

A monster f****n hit. I'm old as shit now, but I lived during a period when the greatest rock n roll music ever recorded was released. I was one of those who stood proudly with my-Disco Sucks sign, blasting that inane s****y music into oblivion. It took the 'Chicago White Sox and their game on July 12, 1979, during their Disco Demolition Night promotion to finally put an end to that pathetic era of music.

Reason to Believe is my favorite Rod Stewart song.

"you turned into a lover and, mother! what a lover you wore me out." He is not saying she turned into a lover and mother. He is using mother as an exclamation like damn!

Happy Friday!🌞 "Sir Roderick David Stewart", or as we know him, Rod Stewart, is one of the biggest selling artists of all time. He was in several bands before making it big in FACES in 1969 with his buddy, Ron Wood. From '67 to '69 he sang with the Jeff Beck Group. Rod was also known to play his harmonica, but it was his soulful, raspy vocals that shot him to stardom with the chart topping single ( from the album, Every Picture Tells A Story, '71) "Maggie May". Rod cowrote this song about losing his virginity at 16 to an older woman. Such a great track. He continues to make new music and new fans. Check out "Tonights The Night", and "Forever Young", and a faster pace song, "Hot Legs". His big hit "Do ya think I'm Sexy", had plenty of Women ( and lots of Men) say "Yes, we do!" to Rod in the late 70's. What a career, what a voice...can you tell I'm a fan? Lol. Cheers!😉

Great song. Great reaction. To address some of your speculations: we ALL had crushes on this guy with that gravelly voice. This was his first big hit and it played nonstop for the entire summer of 1971. That was fine with me because I had a long commute to Boston every day in my VW Beetle. Also, he is Scottish and nearly became a professional soccer player. I did not know about his fondness for model trains, only his fondness for models. Check out “Reason to Believe”. Love your channel. Need more female rockers. Linda Ronstadt is a good place to start😊

I know it is basically considered a one hit wonder but Mike Oldfield's "Tubular Bells" is iconic. It took 9 months to write, He plays more than twenty instruments and the album is a single track covering both sides. Ear candy soundscape. portions were used as the theme for the movie "The Exorcist"

OMG - Rod Stewart!! Love, Love, Love I grew up on Rod Stewart and saw him in concert every time he played came to Vancouver, BC. Sir Rod Steward and Sir Elton John bring back so many memories. You'll never convince me that the 1960's & 1970's weren't the best decades in American music - but I love that you're trying.

I'd also never heard that intro before, and didn't know it existed, let alone as part of that song. Like "California Girls" by the Beach Boys, that intro is not indicative of the rest of the song. But "Maggie May" is amazing, especially the ending bell choir. S.

I have a cool real life Rod Stewart story, my friend and her husband were at a restaurant in Newport Beach, CA, on their anniversary, waiting for their table. Rod was there and gave up his table after hearing it was their special day. They have a photo with him, what a beautiful heart! This one gives me those 70's feelzz, I was singing along, takes me back. "Mandolin Wind" simply beauuuutiful, goosebumps song, "Every Picture Tells a Story", he's performed on stage with the best of the best. Thanks guys!

I’ve never cut this song short or skipped it in my rotation ever. I’ve never gotten tired of this song. Speaking of this song and pubs, my sister and my best friend and I used to go to a local bar, shoot pool, and sing this song at the top of our voices. We were quite obnoxious. Sadly, my friend passed away a few years later and I can’t help but associate those good times with Maggie May.

Yo gotta remember, it was 1971,this was a "B side" single, that nobody expected to do anything. A DJ in Cleveland, Ohio gave it a listen, started plying it on the air, and made Rod Stewart a household name (That means "Famous" for you gen-x's & millennials).
