The Rolling Stones
are an English
rock
band formed in London in 1962. Active for almost six decades, they are one of the most popular and enduring bands of the rock era. In the early 1960s, the Rolling Stones pioneered the gritty, heavier-driven sound that came to define
hard rock
.
Their first stable line-up comprised vocalist
Mick Jagger
, multi-instrumentalist
Brian Jones
, guitarist
Keith Richards
, bassist
Bill Wyman
, and drummer
Charlie Watts
. During their formative years Jones was the primary leader: he assembled the band, named it, and drove their sound and image. After
Andrew Loog Oldham
became the group's manager in 1963, he encouraged them to write their own songs.
Jagger and Richards
became the primary creative force behind the band, alienating Jones, who developed a drug addiction that interfered with his ability to contribute meaningfully. Rooted in
blues
and early
rock and roll
, the Rolling Stones started out playing covers and were at the forefront of the
British Invasion
in 1964, also being identified with the youthful and rebellious
counterculture of the 1960s
. They then found greater success with their own material as "
(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction
" (1965), "
Get Off of My Cloud
" (1965) and "
Paint It Black
" (1966) became international No. 1 hits.
Aftermath
(1966) – their first entirely original album – is considered the most important of their formative records. In 1967, they had the double-sided hit "
Ruby Tuesday
"/"
Let's Spend the Night Together
" and experimented with
psychedelic rock
on
Their Satanic Majesties Request
. They returned to their roots with such hits as "
Jumpin' Jack Flash
" (1968) and "
Honky Tonk Women
" (1969), and albums such as
Beggars Banquet
(1968), featuring "
Sympathy for the Devil
", and
Let It Bleed
(1969), featuring "
You Can't Always Get What You Want
" and "
Gimme Shelter
".
Let It Bleed
was the first of five consecutive No. 1 albums in the UK. Jones left the band shortly before his death in 1969, having been replaced by guitarist
Mick Taylor
. That year they were first introduced on stage as
'The Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World'
.
Sticky Fingers
(1971), which yielded "
Brown Sugar
" and included the first usage of their
tongue and lips logo
, was their first of eight consecutive No. 1 studio albums in the US.
Exile on Main St.
(1972), featuring "
Tumbling Dice
", and
Goats Head Soup
(1973), yielding the hit ballad "
Angie
", were also best sellers. Taylor was replaced by
Ronnie Wood
in 1974. The band continued to release successful albums including their two largest sellers:
Some Girls
(1978), featuring "
Miss You
"; and
Tattoo You
(1981), featuring "
Start Me Up
".
Steel Wheels
(1989) was widely considered a
comeback album
and was followed by
Voodoo Lounge
(1994), a worldwide number one album. Both releases were promoted by large stadium and arena tours as the Stones continued to be a huge concert attraction; by 2007 they had four of the top five
highest-grossing concert tours
of all time. From Wyman's departure in 1993 to Watts' death in 2021, the band continued as a four-piece core, with
Darryl Jones
playing bass on tour and on most studio recordings. Their latest album,
Blue & Lonesome
(2016), became their
twelfth UK number-one album
. The Rolling Stones' estimated record sales of 200 million makes them one of the
best-selling music artists of all time
. The band has won three
Grammy Awards
and a
Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award
. They were inducted into the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
in 1989 and the
UK Music Hall of Fame
in 2004. In 2019,
Billboard
magazine ranked the Rolling Stones second on their list of the "Greatest Artists of All Time" based on US chart success. They are ranked fourth on
Rolling Stone
's list of the
Greatest Artists of All Time
.
