Never cared much for Rod; "Maggie May" is the only one of his I can even stand.

Rockers doing disco is always good.

He's a great vocalist. I hear him singing a lot more than I listen to his solo albums. The Faces albums are good, but my favorite is the Jeff Beck albums.

If we can count the Jeff Beck stuff, easily my favorite song with Rod on vocals is "Let Me Love You" from the Truth album.

I was gonna say "Maggie May", which is still actually my favorite, but let's see, what else... Maybe "Stay With Me" (with the Faces), or "Forever Young", or even "Hot Legs".

Yeah, if Faces and Jeff Beck Group songs count, my answer changes. I assumed Niveous meant the solo material. "Stay With Me" is a good stomper, probably would have been my pick if it hadn't been mentioned already, so how about this Elvis cover from JBG (which I had thought was a Faces song until I looked it up just now):

Honorable mention to his cover of Downtown Train, Young Turks, and My Heart Can't Tell You No

My favorite is In A Broken Dream. I only heard this for the first time a couple of weeks ago thanks to its inclusion in an A$AP Rocky song but once I heard it, I felt like it was lightyears ahead of anything I had ever heard Rod Stewart do.

Weirdy, I kind of want to like him more than I do. 'The killing of Georgie', anyone?
