My Greatest 100 (or so) Albums...
Every Picture Tells a Story (Mercury, 1971) Rod Stewart. Before he shocked his original fan base and invited a wicked backlash with D'Ya Think I'm Sexy, Rod Stewart was one of the greatest rock singers in history. 35 years down the line he's still moving cd's on the fumes of that once tremendous voice and feel. Anyway, here, Rod's at his absolute rock peak. This album features only ten songs, but when four of them are Every Picture Tells a Story, Mandolin Wind, Maggie May and Reason to Believe, and the rest include some carefully chosen covers, you've hit the classic rock jackpot, mis amigos. This really is a damn fine disc. Someone like you, might like it.
Here's a little history, the first single from the album was Reason to Believe backed with Maggie May. I'm sure you know they ended up flipping it.

Man, that album takes me back.
When was the last time you listened to it?
Every song? Maybe 10 years ago, but I have heard several cuts from it in the last few months.
Listen to the whole thing. It'll take you back.
