#177 Rod Stewart, 'Every Picture Tells a Story' (1971)

Rod Stewart’s breakthrough album set off a chain reaction of #1 records for years to come. The album opens with the sounds of Ronnie Wood’s twelve string guitar on the title track. Micky Waller’s drums enter along with Stewart’s iconic voice. The song is a mildly sexist and casually racist song about a man travelling around the world sharing his experiences with different women.
