Rod Stewart

Rod Stewart is one of those rare artists where you just know the voice in the first half-second — that gravel-and-gold rasp is utterly his own, and nobody has convincingly faked it in sixty-plus years of trying. I grew up hearing "Maggie May" and "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy" from completely different rooms and somehow both felt like the same guy, which is kind of a superpower. He started as a busking harmonica player in 1962, ground through the Jeff Beck Group and Faces, and then went stratospheric as a solo act — over 120 million records sold is not a typo. The knighthood and the 1994 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction feel earned rather than honorary. He's never pretended to be cool in a quiet way; he's always been loud about it, and I respect that enormously.
