The Small Faces, with Steve Marriott, blew away Rod’s Faces.
Small Faces were one of the first ‘psychedelic bands (itchy koo park). I preferred Stewart's vocals and Becks guitar work.
Many of the performers on Beck-Ola ant Truth, played together as Faces or with Rod on his solo albums.
IMHO- Rods best work was with Beck and on his solo albums (gasoline Alley, the Rod Stewart Album)
lots of good stuff.
