1. A Reason to Believe
that's the only song of his I like, and I LOVE it.

6. He ruins "Reason to Believe" - an excellent Tim Hardin song
He even gets the words wrong!
Best version is by The Dillards.
Great song.

5. "Gasoline Alley", "Man of Constant Sorrow"
there was a period of time with The Faces when he was pretty good, I can't stand him as a person though...

9. Second on "Every Picture..."
One good album as a solo, one good album with Faces ("Long Player"), then...dreck.

10. Good with the Faces
interesting at first as a solo guy, then an embarrassment for the last 30 years.

11. He was good during the lates 60s-early 70s.
His work with the Faces, and Jeff Beck were great. Ass-kickin tunes.
Every Picture Tells a Story is one of my personal favorites as is Never a Dull Moment. Then sometime in the late 70's he "turned the corner", "jumped the shark" so to speak. Now he's just a Barry Manilow clone doing a bad job at covers.
Total sellout!

13. I love the album "Every Picture Tells a Story"
His work with Jeff Beck was good too. I don't know what happened to him later in the seventies and beyond, but it wasn't very good.

15. I like him, mostly, but there is something about "Rythym of my Heart"
That I especially like. Kind of a rolling, Celtic, Irish pub singalong song.

16. I used to love Rod
and I still like his older songs, but he started sucking in the 90s and lately he's just incredibly smarmy. He's moved way up on my "Should Quit" list.
