Rolling Stones
The Rolling Stones formed in 1962, when Mick Jagger met Keith Richards and Brian Jones. They decided that they'll form a Rhythm & Blues band. Then, Bill Wyman , Charlie Watts and Ian Stewart joined the band. In the '60s they became very successful with songs like Satisfaction, Under my Thumb, Honky Tonk Women" and Sympathy for the Devil. In 1967 they recorded a Psychedelic Rock album like a lot of bands did. The album, Their Satanic Majesties Request wasn't very successful, so they returned to the Rock 'n Roll, Blues and Country style. In 1969, Brian Jones leaves the band. He was found deadMore in his swimming pool later that year. He was replaced by Mick Taylor. Between 1969 and 1972 they recorded their most important albums Beggars Banquet, Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street. In 1974 Mick Taylor leaves the band and he's replaced by Ron Wood in 1976.

Discs like Some Girls and Tattoo You make the group even more popular. In 1981 and 1982 they made a huge tour around the world. In 1989 the band recorded Steel Wheels and they start another world tour. The same year, The Rolling Stones were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

In the early '90s Bill Wyman leaves the band.

They are still active and they are considered one of the greatest bands in the world.

    THE GREATEST ROCK AND ROLL BAND OF ALL TIME. No question about it. SOOOO many hit singles. The Beatles? The Who? Nah no way, the Stones top the charts. 1961 they began and they still have sellout concerts today! Holy cow! hide show

    No one is more innovative than the Stones. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Brian Jones, Bill Wyman, Ian Stewart, Ron Wood, Mick Taylor, they're all incredible. They do it all: Pop Rock, Psychadellic Rock, Folk Rock, Hard Rock, you just can't beat them. The longevity is just unmatchable and unthinkable. The Stones will never die. $150 for a concert ticket and sold out in just a few weeks! If you wanna see these guys you'd better get your ticket fast. They DOMINATED rock in the 60s', 70s', and 80s' and although they arent at as fast a pace now, they still top all rock and roll charts.

    Rolling Stones are one of the best rock and roll groups around. hide show

    I grew up with the Rolling Stones. I love all the songs that they have done. They are still around and are still together. They still do great songs. I can remember riding aroung town and listening to their songs. They had alot of number one hits, and still have to this day. Their style of music fasaniates me. I have alot of their music on cd's and on 45's plus on albums. They take a lickin' and keep on ticking is my saying. They have had some of the best number one's in history. They are invited to go to alot of places. Their concert tickets are kind of high, but they put on one of the best concerts that I know. They are always sold out wherever they go.

    They are the best! hide show

    The Rolling Stones are the greatest rock and roll band to ever grace the music industry! Seriously, they are! No bands have ever even come close. They have been a band for 44 years now (1962- ) and are showing no signs of quiting. They are in there mid 60's now and can still rock and roll!

    They started out as a band who performed blues and R&B covers and were a success in their home country, the UK. But it wasn't until 1965 when they struck it rich in the US with their hit single "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" and they kept on topping the charts with top singles every year until 1989.

    Throughout their 40 plus years of bandsmenship, they have mixed in such wide varieties of music genres into their music: Rock, Blues, R&B, Pop, Folk, Country, Soul, and even Psychedelia. There is such diversity in all of their albums.

    To date, they have released 27 studio albums and, with the exception of a few bad ones in the mid 80's, they have all been great. My personal favorite is "Between The Buttons" because that was the album when the fully transformed from their blues roots and formed their own signature style.

    All in all, the Stones are the best!

    yeah! hide show

    This is a pretty good rock and roll band, even though i only like a few of there songs but the songs i like are just amazing, but they have a lot of songs i just don't care about and won't listen to them ever again. They will never be as big as The Beatles were and they were around for only 10 years, and they are still touring and I'm not sure if they are making any new music (If they are its probably really bad). I still can't believe Keith Richards is still alive that guy looks older than my dead great grandpa and he has been dead for 40 years.
