Very Best Of Rod StewartIn this article I am going to give you all the information you want with this Rod Stewart songs List. I have seen Rod live 4 times over the years and he still gives a great concert to this day.

I saw him twice at Birmingham NEC, once at Cardiff castle and once at the Millenium Stadium, Cardiff. I have just booked tickets to go see Rod at Plymouth Argyle’s ground on the 24th June 2023 two days before our 30th wedding anniversary.

When I got married to my wife Gill in 1993 we played You’re In My Heart (The Final Acclaim) for our first dance as man and wife. A great song and a great night.
