Rod the Mod and ’The Faces’ were very much part of the soundtrack of my early teens, in fact one of the first albums I bought was a compilation ‘Sing it again Rod’Rod Stewart wrote plenty of his own stuff but he was/is a greater interpreter of other people's songs.
famous for its cover in the shape of a Whiskey glass.It was a great album with tracks from his first four albums.Like BB I stuck with Rod until ’Atlantic Crossing’
On a side note Ronnie Lane‘s band after leaving the Faces ,’Slim Chance‘ we’re very under rated, lots of Mandolin, Banjo and piano and Ronnie wrote a lot of the songs as he did with the Facess, might be worth a listen to ‘Any more for Anymore’

I’d rather listen to Garth Crooks than that gobshite.It's illegal to dig up gravesites, which is the only place I'd bury a Garth Brooks record.

I agree ’Dylan and The Dead’ is horrendous, I like ‘Hard Rain’ with his Rolling Thunder Revue’ which included the late great Mick Ronson on guitar.‘Play it f*ckin loud!’
Bob Dylan live - controversial pick but very happy with this
Obviously obsessed with Dylan but his live stuff has never really appealed to me, in fact the last few decades I’m sure he’s just taking the piss out the audience by being so bad! Almost would admire him more if he admitted that - Although 60’s he was superb and I think this falls 70’s where he had some good moments live despite a poorest period of producing Music in my opinion
The only live Album I bought of his was where he performed with the Grateful Dead in 89 (Dylan & The Dead) … It’s fu*kin awful , not only does Dylan sound awful, lack energy and motivation but it’s recorded terribly - sounds like they recorded it 2 miles from the stage
Anyhow, glad to have my fix of Dylan - it’s been too long and look forward to this
By way, My favourite of his is ‘Blonde on Blonde’ yet to be reviewed …

Stroppy spoilt prick.That's cold!
His histrionics over his 5 Croke Park gigs or none sealed his faith in my opinion.
To make it worse, I could hear him each night from my back garden.

Will be a great gig at the Chase Centre , New Order are superb live IMO.I'm off to see New Order and The Pet Shop Boys tonight!

I've not heard all his 70s albums, but surely any period that features albums like Blood on the Tracks and Desire can't be considered that bad?I think this falls 70’s where he had some good moments live despite a poorest period of producing Music in my opinion
Haha I am getting the same, dylan ads popping up all over my phone. Smart enough to read to advertiser, not smart enough to see the bit whete i say i 'hate' it.
