The Rolling Stones: The Greatest Rock Band Ever
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.
How it Started
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

They started playing music which was between Rock 'n Roll and Blues which helped them get their unique sound as they progressed.

Wrapping Up
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?
