Their most successful songs included "Had Me a Real Good Time", their breakthrough UK hit "Stay with Me", "Cindy Incidentally", and "Pool Hall Richard". As Rod Stewart's solo career became more successful than that of the group, the band became overshadowed by their lead singer. A disillusioned Ronnie Lane left the band in 1973, replaced by Tetsu Yamauchi (who had replaced Andy Fraser in Free). Released at about the time Lane left, Faces' final studio album was Ooh La La, about which Stewart was very scathing in the musical press on its release, much to the anger of the others.

Although they enjoyed modest success compared to contemporaries such as The Who and The Rolling Stones, Faces have had considerable influence on latter-day rock revivalists. Their good-natured, back-to-basics (and frequently liquor-laden) live performances and studio albums connect them with such bands as the New York Dolls and The Damned, as well as Steve Jones of The Sex Pistols. Following the collapse of the punk rock movement, the influence of the Faces gave rise to rock-revivalists ranging from The Replacements and The Quireboys to The Black Crowes and, more recently, groups such as Pearl Jam, The Charlatans, Whiteout and Stereophonics.
