Short Bio: The Rolling Stones have remained one of the world's
most popular rock and roll bands since their inception in 1962.
It's a fact which surprised many music journalists, who expected
the band to self explode long before the likes of The Beatles etc.
In fact, for longitivity, touring and album production, few if any
bands can equal 'The Stones' as they like to refer to themselves.
The style of their music has borrowed heavily from rhythm and blues
and blues, combining / transforming it into what present day music
fans would recognise as traditional mainstream rock music.
Popular Songs: Paint It Black, Get Off of My Cloud, Jumpin'
Jack Flash, Start Me Up.
