The Rolling Stones

Today I will give you a gift, because for my guests I do everything. I am going to talk about The Rolling Stones, one of the most influent British rock bands ever. It is known that they are one of the most older bands at active with a huge number of fans worldwide.
“The Rolling Stones” are a band formed by:
- Mick Jagger
- Keith Richards
- Charlie Watts
- Ronnie Wood


I must refer that other members participated there, for example the multi-instrumentalist Brian Jones and Ian Stewart in the piano.

Their music style have been suffering changes belong time.
Actually, The Rolling Stones are well known in modern popular music for using musical genres into their recording and performance, ultimately creating their own style. The band's career is frequently marked by a big reference and reliance on musical styles like American blues, folk, country, etc…

Songwriting partnership had been formed by Jagger and Richards turned them the leaders of “The Rolling Stones”. Jones dead and they need somebody to replace him, so they choose Mick Taylor in 1969 who was fired in 1974.

"This band is one of the most famous of 1960s British Invasion".

The Rolling Stones have released 22 studio albums in the UK , eight concert albums and a lot of compilations; overall they had sold more than 200 million albums worldwide. The Rolling Stones were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989. In 2004 they were ranked number 4th in “Rolling Stone magazine's 100 Greatest Artists of All Time”. Had been said that their image of unkempt and youth image is one that many musicians still emulate.
