Since 2002, Rod Stewart has released eight albums. Each and every one of them includes songs that were written before ‘Maggie May’ hit No. 1 in 1971. A lot of them, in fact, were written before the 68-year-old rock legend learned to walk.

The list of January 2013 new music releases prove it's shaping up to be a Happy New Year indeed for classic rock fans. Some of our favorite groups and artists are kicking off the year with a bang, and though it's not exactly "out with the old, in with the new" -- this is classic rock, after all, so it's more like "update the old, in with the remasters" -- we're still getting some cool stuff, headed up by a very interesting deluxe box set of Fleetwood Mac's masterpiece, 'Rumours.'
