Rod

Did you know there are videos on YouTube of almost any Faces song you can think of? The first two are the only "awesome" videos of the group, but all have a certain degree of Rod value. I don't know why I like Rod Stewart; I think it started as a running joke but then I decided one day that I really do think the Faces kick butt, and you can't fault me for ironic Rod love. Plus the phallic overtones just add the right degree of sleaziness to everything about Rod. Not to descend into cheap psychoanalysis here, but I'm a little put off by dudes who are too macho to admit appreciation for gay culture or for the iconic pin-ups of middle-aged moms.

"Stay with Me":



Rod & Ronnie singing "Maybe I'm Amazed":



Rod gets fat, gets a perm, and sings "Every Picture Tells a Story":



One of my earlier music video memories is of this song:
