What was the name of the band that Rod Stewart played in?

Answer 1

Rod appeared briefly with The Raiders, Jimmy Powell & The Five Dimensions, then in 1964 made his first known recording with The Hoochie Coochie Men (Long John Baldry's band). Steampacket evolved from this band when Brian Auger and Julie Driscoll joined, before Rod moved to Shotgun Express joining Beryl Marsden and pre-Fleetwood Mac musicians Mick Fleetwood and Peter Greene. He fronted briefly for Southampton band, The Soul Agents, then joined Peter B's Looners. Rod worked with Ronnie Wood in The Jeff Beck Group and again with the Faces, a band born from The Small Faces when Steve Marriott left the band. Rod Stewart also recorded 3 songs for Python Lee Jackson, with In A Broken Dream becoming a huge hit in 1972 after a few unsuccessful releases.

Rod enjoyed a solo career alongside his work in the Faces before they finally split.

Some of these details have been updated from Rod's new autobiography in which he clarifies a few points which were open to debate.
