If you ask any rock music fan, "which rock bands will be on your top 5 list?", without a doubt The Rolling Stones will be mentioned every time. Even if a person is no a fan of rock music, I bet they have hear the songs 'Paint it, Black', 'Gimme Shelter' or 'Sympathy For The Devil'. Or definitely have seen The Rolling Stones' logo of a red lips and a tongue sticking out some where.
The Rolling Stones was formed in 1962 in London by Brain Jones, Keith Richards, Mick Jagger, Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman.
Mick Jagger was the vocalist
Keith Richards was the guitarist
Bill Wyman was the bassist
Charlie Watts was the drummer and,
Brain Jones was playing multiple instruments.
They started playing music which was between Rock 'n Roll and Blues which helped them get their unique sound as they progressed.
The Rolling Stones made very impressive albums and a lot of them. Their Debut album came in 1964 and was named after them, The Rolling Stones. It was a huge success and the band started making one great album to the next in quick succession. To mention few of them,
In 1965 - The Rolling Stones No. 2
In 1965 - The Rolling Stones, Now!
In 1965 - Our of Our Heads
In 1966 - Aftermath
In 1967 - Between the Buttons
In 1969 - Let it Bleed
In 1971 - Stick Fingers
In 1974 - It's Only Rock 'n Roll
In 1976 - Black and Blue
In 1981 - Tattoo You
In 1986 - Dirty Work
In 1994 - Voodoo Lounge
The Rolling Stones made such an amazing songs, it's even hard for me to choose a favorite one. And I honestly wish I could have seen their live performance back in the 1960's. I know some people will say The Beatles are better but for me The Rolling Stones are the greatest of all time.
So, how about you? Who is your number one choice of a rock band?
