Rolling Stones, The

| biography:
| Rock group, members Mick Jagger (1943– ) vocals, Keith Richards (1943– ) guitar, Bill Wyman (1941– ) bass, Charlie Watts (1942– ) drums, Ron Wood (1947– ) guitar, former member Brian Jones (1944–69) guitar, one of the longest-running and most successful popular music groups to emerge in the 1960s. They first performed together in 1962. At first, they were very much in the shadow of The Beatles, but their less boyish, more rebellious style together with their more aggressive blues-based music soon won them a large following. Although their uninhibited life styles and overtly sexual lyrics often hit the headlines, it was the excellence of their compositions (usually by Jagger and Richard) that ensured their continuing success. Among their early hits were ‘The Last Time’ and ‘Satisfaction’. Later albums include Exile on Main Street (1972), Tattoo You (1981), Voodoo Lounge (1994), and Bridges to Babylon (1997). |
