I dig the Faces a lot but it's like putting Black Crowes in there when they are eligible (OK, not *that* weird). Overall, some of their choices seems very arbitrary to me but I'm in sweden and did not grow up on "classic rock"-radio or anything even remotely close to that so I really didn't know the status of many of those acts beyond reading and listening and shaping a general idea of how they are perceived in the US based on that. Maybe the Faces are a big deal rather than just a cool rocking band amongst several other cool rocking bands in that era. Let's just say I've completely missed it.

Or maybe it's the Rod Stewart thing, it's surely a better reason to put him in than "I am sailing" or "Do ya think I'm sexy?". I guess he's in as a solo-artist too though...

Useless bonus-trivia:it took me a long time to realize that "classic rock" did NOT mean music made during the "classic rock"-era but rather stuff that gets played on US "classic rock"-radio and if you have the nerve to say that some other stuff from the same era is better, youre a hipster revisionist. After getting some US classic rock-stations when radio became "free" here in the early 90's I find the whole scene kind of ridiculous, like it's a scene that celebrates itself and don't deal with revisionism at all regardless of what contemporary music sounds like but instead play the same "canonic" songs year after year apparently since forever like some kind of static monument...
