If you like Rod Stewart, this is a great collection of his best hits. It was a gift for a friend and he really likes it.

WARNING: like too many MP3 downloads these days, this album omits 4 songs found on the $10.95 CD version. My advice: get the CD instead.

I was hunting a particular song by Rod Stewart and found his album right away, purchased it, smooth transaction and fast shipping. Will continue to shop at Amazon.

This is a GREAT CD. It is one of the best in my CD collection. The whole family really likes this CD.

If you want the best that he has done, this is it. It has all of my favorites, especially "Rhythm of My Heart". If you prefer to have collections of a performer's best, this is it for Rod Stewart.

This CD is easy to listen to and has great songs by a leading artist. I found that it is perfect to listen to while exercising.

I have this recording on tape and now on DVD. This is better

Great CD for Rod Stewart fans! And great pcitures in the case! This CD will bring back lots of memories

Rod Stewart has stood the test of time and this CD is a compilation of most of his greatest hits. His music ranges from ballads to foot stomping rock, and it's all good!

I grew up listening to Rod back home in Brazil. Now I have a chance to see him live in San Antonio, TX.

Gotta love Rod Stewart. I realized just recently when he was touring again in my area how much I still love the guy. I have one cassette tape of Rod's and decided it was time to upgrade, so ordered the CD. Thank you Amazon.com for being there and for having anything I have ever wanted in one place. So simple, click on Amazon.com and find anything I want. Saves gas, time and pulling my hair out.

Since Rod Stewart is oft-played on radio, it's my opinion that many of us take him for granted. But when we consider the amazing number of top hits he's churned out over the years, the man is LEGEND & he's come a long way since playing harmonica background for Millie Small's "My Boy Lollipop" Great CD, Great Arrangements & another Must-Have!

Rhythm of My Heart & Have I Told you Lately, are both so well written and crafted.

This is one of the many cd roddy has , who is just the best.
If you like Rod Stewart ,you must buy this one and many other.
Roddy never make BAD cd's,he is the greatest of his kind.
All I just can say is listen and buy

Rod Stewart's penchant for crossing to and from and back through all categories of rock-pop music makes it often hard to define exactly where he fits into all this. The one undeniable constant is his raspy voice that seems to work for him with great affection and appeal. His great versatility to utilize his voice so surreptitiously is a real talent. One CD cannot represent an entire career but it can give us snippets here and there where his distinctive and alluring voice has taken him and us.

I once owned this CD and some how lost or misplaced it. My CD player has not been the same without it. I plan to purchase another of it ASAP

Im not a female and im in love with Rod Stewart. His music. All of it is just amazing. His voice never gets old, every song is so unique and their all fun songs and their all classics. The depth of songs like Young Turks and My Heart Cant Tell You No is amazing.

Hey, didn't you have a girlfriend who liked this guy? Remember driving around, another Sat nite of getting nowhere, hearing this guy, "Maggie May", thinking, "didn't they just play that already?" Remember beer-soaked carpets, butts and roaches lying around, stoned and drunk and bored? Remember the stories about this guy getting hauled into an ER at four in the morning in New York or LA or someplace, what they pumped out of his stomach?
Is is still around? Does somebody still listen to him? Hey, is this the same guy as Joe Cocker?

The only classic here is the song done with Ron Isley - This Old Heart of Mine. Few can compare with Isley's voice and performance...certainly not Rod.

hi, im only 21 and i am absolutely in love with this man. my mother, who is probably one of his biggest fans, dragged me to one of his concerts when i was like 7 or so. i fell in love. that voice, that hair, that accent, what girl wouldnt be in love. but yes i grew up listening to him and i must say that he will never get old to me. me and my mom used to call him rod the bod. the first video i ever saw was his remake of this old heart of mine...i thought it was awesome. yes yes this man will always be my true love. his songs are just so sensational.
i would suggest that if you love or even like him at all then this album is the best one you will own.

ROD STEWART-THE VERY BEST OF ROD STEWART: This is probably the most comprenensive single disc collection of the Mod one's defining moments. Covering three decades, VERY BEST contains nothing but, from never bested debut chart conquerer MAGGIE MAY to oft chided disco stab DA YA THINK I'M SEXY to soul duet (with the peerless Ronald Isley) THIS OLD HEART OF MINE to Celtic charmer OOH LA LA (first performed by Rod's old mates Faces, but now with backing from the Corrs). There are also plenty of decent slow dancers, such as TONIGHTS THE NIGHT and YOU'RE IN MY HEART, the better to make the ladies swoon. Always a fine interpretter of outside material, Rod's definitive covers (Tom Wait's DOWNTOWN TRAIN, Van Morrison's HAVE I TOLD YOU LATELY) are exquisitely rendered in that unmistakable yet charming rasp. The only quibble is that more prime pieces didn't make the final cut (THE FIRST CUT IS THE DEEPEST, STAY WITH ME, PEOPLE GET READY), but that's what sequels were invented for. RATING: FIVE CROAKS

Great singer, wonderful songs, what else is there to say. Very unique voice and music.

We are really pleased with the product received, however it was disappointing to find a CD in the parcel rather than the DVD we ordered.

Since I had purchased one of Rod Stewart's newest CDs Stardust, which I loved, I found that I did not have a CD of Rod's hits over time. This CD fills that bill. It is great. This is one way to get the best without buying 5 separate CDs. I heartily recommend it.

This cd is pretty much perfect. The only thing I would have done different would've been to replace Maggie May and You Wear It Well with So Far Away and The Motown Song from The Very Best of Vol. 2. The reason why, is because those two songs are already on a Mercury compilation of Rod's earlier rock albums, called The Best of Rod Stewart. Then I would have put two different songs on Vol. 2 to make up for it. That's my only complaint. Maggie May and You Wear It Well are really good songs, but they don't fit in with the rest of them. Anyway, this is one of the only best of cd's by any artist, that I really liked and already knew every single song. I definitley recommend this compilation. I also recommend listening to Don Henley if you like Rod Stewart.

rod stewart was among my best rockers along with clapton,frampton,beck and neil young.most of his good songs like downtrain are included here.this is recommended for people who want his big hits on one disc.please get this brilliant album and rock!!!!!!

this is a superb collection from one of the greatest vocalists in the rock music genre and contains almost all his hits down the years.very highly recommended along with his albums with Jeff Beck.thank you.

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.

Slide back to the 80's with the Best of Rod Stewart...featuring:
"Maggie May", "Hot Legs", "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?", "Tonight's The Night", "You're In My Heart" and many others!

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.

Let's be honest - no single CD can contain all of Rod Stewart's hits, but this one is good, even if incomplete. It's just that you may want to get another of his greatest hits CDs, to get some songs that aren't on here. But, it's still good and I highly recommend it.

I had no idea who the Rod is until I moved to Canada. Although coming from a different cultural and language background, I found Rod's songs are romantic, inspiring and all his songs are bearing his unique voice. I bought both "It had to be you" and "The very best of Rod Stewart", however I listen to the later one very often as it collects many top hits of Rod Stewart.

Not only do I listen to Rod's song, but also I am deeply impressed by his continuous hardworking to refine his artistic styles while he is about to be 60 years old. I feel that I am greatly encouraged by him whenever I have a difficult time.

Rod, just like his song says, is forever young!

This "best of" is done with class as well as "ENCORE-BEST OF 2". So I'm shocked that ROD's greatest song is left off of both HIT'S CD'S. The song is " STAY WITH ME", one of his best classic songs. My suggestion would be to REMASTER this hits and add "STAY WITH ME" as a bonus that is deserved to be on this close to perfect CD ( Along with ENCORE ). There is plenty of extra space for this famous and classic song.It's just not right to have a "ROD'S" hit's album without this song---"just plain painfull". Do it Right ROD, and your fans will STAY WITH YOU.

The Very Best Of Rod Stewart is a good greatest hits collection but to call this the best of Rod is just wrong and a lie. Wears 'Madolin Wind' 'Mine FOr Me' 'Tomorrow Is A Long Time' 'Every Picture Tells A Story' 'Cut Across Shorty' 'I Know Im Losing You' 'Hard Road' 'Country Comforts' 'Twistin The Night Away' or the best Rod Stewart song of them all 'Gasoline Alley'

Lool I am sorry but you can not have a best of Rod Stewart without those songs, and if you dont have 'Gasoline Alley on there then thats just crazy, its his best song!!!! I would recomend this to someone who is just getting in to Rod or someone that just wants a 'FEW' of his hits.

Rod is one of those rare artists that are able to transcend genres, decades, logic and reason. I mean really, a nasty looking Scottish guy with a horrible raspy voice shouldn't be atop the musical world for 30 years, right? WRONG. Rod is awesome; and if anyone ever tells you differently punch them in the face repeatedly until they come around and admit that Rod is the greatest recording artist that this world will ever see. If you don't own this CD and all his other ones you should kill yourself now because most of your life has been wasted in a gloomy Rod-less wasteland.
