Still the Same... Great Rock Classics of Our Time is an album by Rod Stewart, released on October 10, 2006. After four years singing pop standards from the Great American Songbook with great success, this album continues the notion of singing old material, but now in his classic musical genre - rock and roll.

The album is produced by Clive Davis and John Shanks (the former also produced the American Songbook albums) and includes rock milestones from the last four decades, including "It's a Heartache", "Day after Day" and the Creedence Clearwater Revival's classic "Have You Ever Seen the Rain", which was picked as the first single from the album.

The album debuted #1 on the Billboard 200 pop albums chart, making it his fifth Top 5 and second number one debut in five years.
