I agree the MCC version seems a little under-produced, and the PS version is better, though dated with the 80s instrumentation (further enhanced by the Aquanet big-hair girls in the video).
I Liked him in the Jeff Beck Group, The Faces and his first three solo albums (Gasoline Alley -1970, Every Picture Tells a Story -1971 and Never a Dull Moment -1972) but I lost track of him after he went into the "Do You Think I'm Sexy?" and disco phase.The only thing I will say about Rod Stewart is..............I wish he had chosen soccer as a profession.
I like MCC's minimalist approach.As much as I love MCC the songs needs some more grit. And I think Patty Smyth does a good, yet 80's pop-ish version. I'll take Patty on this one.
He killed it on the Truth and Beckola albums. I think that's when he was at his best.I Liked him in the Jeff Beck Group
me too!!That's tough, but I enjoy the "musicality" of The Byrds version better.

Yeah, in the Jeff Beck Group Rod Stewart's voice worked and he was tolerable with Faces and his first solo album or two, but really, once he stopped working with Ronnie Wood he was uselessI Liked him in the Jeff Beck Group, The Faces and his first three solo albums (Gasoline Alley -1970, Every Picture Tells a Story -1971 and Never a Dull Moment -1972) but I lost track of him after he went into the "Do You Think I'm Sexy?" and disco phase.
I admit that Tom Waits is an acquired taste. His voice is, I guess you would say a "character" voice that fits some of his songs like no other voice could.Tom Waits voice is worse than terrible
There have been discussions of Tom Petty and the 12 strings on here before and it seems he used a D25-12 and a D212 I believe.Sorry If I arrive a bit late, but I like this version of 'My Back Pages' and was wondering what's that Guild Tom Petty is playing on this version ? Some D25-12 it looks to me, but how is it called?
Lots of good people here and nice guitars too... www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbPa31KOZg0
