A Great Single Disc Collection Of Rod's Best

Rod Stewart is a singer whose career has spanned 5 decades. During that time, he has conquered critics, audiences and even throat cancer. Rod is a person who deserves to be this successful. He is a great person, and, more importantly, an amazing singer. "The Very Best Of Rod Stewart" does a great job of capturing many of the highlights of his career, and does a great job.



You can't go wrong with this solid, 16 - track sampling of Rod's biggest hits. From "Maggie May" to "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy" to "Have I Told You Lately" to "Ooh La La", every important classic single from Rod's career is here. My favorite songs include "Some Guys Have All The Luck" and "My Heart Can't Tell You No", two hits that proved Rod did not sell out after 1979.

Other classics included are "Downtown Train", "You're In My Heart (The Final Acclaim)", "Young Turks", "Tonight's The Night (Gonna Be Alright)" and others.



This is a great cd. Personally, I find it better than the "Storyteller" boxed set, which only went up to 1990. This one goes up to 1998. A great collection of great songs from a great artist. Highly recommended.

Every Song Tells A Story.

When it comes to changing with the times and still coming out on top both commercially and creatively, nobody can beat Rod Stewart. Rod can do wrong, as evidence by a steady run of of hit singles between 1971 and 1998. Of those hits, 16 of his biggest hits are here, and arguably they're all his best songs. It misses out on some good stuff, but it's still great.



"Voice: The Very Best Of Rod Stewart" captures every highlight of his 30 - plus year career, from the most memorable ("Maggie Mae", "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy"), to the romantic ("Tonight's The Night" (his biggest hit with 8 weeks at number one), "You're In My Heart", "My Heart Can't Tell You No") to the autobiographical and/or reflective numbers ("Some Guys Have All The Luck", "Ooh La La"). "You Wear It Well" and "Hot Legs" show the carefree, laid back guy really is. "Downtown Train" is so down to earth. And anyone who wants a song that could really pump them up during their morning excercise routine may want to consider "Young Turks". It helped me lose 10 pounds in 6 weeks.



As for the msiing tracks, four top 10 hits ("Passion", "Infatuation", "Love Touch" and "The Motown Song") are missing but are on "Encore: The Best Of Rod Stewart, Volume 2", as are other notable numbers like "Lost In You", "Crazy About Her", "Daisy Jane" and "Broken Arrow".

Anyone who wants to be a Rod Stewart fan should start here. No doubt about it. It's even better than the 4- disc "Storyteller" set because it includes all the songs he did up to 1998.

The best indeed
