4.0 out of 5 stars Better Than You Think April 27, 2001
Format:Audio CD
Blondes Have More Fun is the album that is easily the most critically reviled of all of Rod Stewart's albums and is a target of alot his fans. People call it Rod Stewart selling out to disco music and to a degree they're right. "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" is pure disco and in 1979 disco was king. The song was a number one hit and a platinum seller. The thing people overlook is that "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" is the only disco song on the album and while the rest of it isn't vintage Rod Stewart music, it's not bad. In fact there are some songs like "The Best Of My Life", "Ain't Love A Bitch" & "Scarred & Scared" that are high quality. Also, if you take "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" for what it is, it is a catchy piece of music. If you're looking for Every Picture Tells A Story, you won't find it here, but with Blondes Have More Fun, you get a solid, workman like effort.

4.0 out of 5 stars You know you loved it! August 31, 2004
Format:Audio CD
Never did any Rod Stewart album generate the kind of love/hate sentiment more than Blondes Have More Fun. Having already endured criticism, and cries of "sellout" for moving away from jolly old England, and settling in Los Angeles, and the subsequent cries of "sellout" for issuing the appropriately titled, "Atlantic Crossing", Rod dared to join the late 70's and horror of horrors, recorded a so-called disco tune. The truth is, most rock acts at the time were delving into the disco craze, trying to capitalize financially. The Stones (Miss You), Kiss (I Was Made For Loving You), Blondie (Heart of Glass), ELO (Entire Xanadu sountrack). So, criticism of Rod is very harsh, in my opinion. Especially when you consider that BHMF is a solid rock album on the whole.

I don't care what anyone says, Do Ya Think I'm Sexy is a great tune! And, unlike what most people thought, not autobiographical. As Rod does better than anyone else, he is telling a story. The lyrics start, "He sits alone, waiting for suggestions." After the mega hit, one kickass rocker, Dirty Weekend is next. In the style of the great Rod rockers, this one is basically a "head's down, meet you at the end in three minutes" tune. Rod displays his self-depricating sense of humour a lot on this album, as evidenced by 'Aint Love a Bitch. A cute little ditty that you'll be signing the rest of the day. Rod then slows things down a notch for a nice ballad, Best Days of My Life, before some more self-deprication on the rocking, Is That The Thanks I Get?

Side Two ( I Love vinyl) is more good stuff. With the highlights being the humourous (and again self-depricating) Attractive Female Wanted and Last Summer. You have to wonder if Rod was having trouble keeping girlfriends at the time he recorded this! Nice uptempo numbers such as the title track and a cover of Standing in the Shadows of Love fill out the cd, and we end with a song called Scarred and Scared. In my opinion this song is autobiographical, but I have no idea what the actual story is behind it.

The story here was that critics pretty much hated this album, but the fans ate it up. With the exception of Rod purists, who burned their copies of Every Picture Tells A Story in protest...

Overall this album is worthy of your music catalogue. Don't be afraid of disco folks. It's well dead...It's not coming back because you enjoy Do Ya Think I'm Sexy!

Tremendous Album! One of Rod Stewarts best. Just a memorable group of songs that will endure time. Great rock with a hint of tinderness.

3.0 out of 5 stars His weakest effort
Remastered or not, this has to be Rod's weakest effort. It's the blandest recording he's ever done. The lesser known titles have a few redeeming qualities. Read more
