Rolling Stones: Icons of Rock History
The Birth of a Rock Revolution (1962–1969)
Formed in London in 1962, the original lineup included:
Mick Jagger (vocals)
Keith Richards (guitar)
Brian Jones (multi-instrumentalist)
Charlie Watts (drums)
Bill Wyman (bass)
Named after a Muddy Waters song, they were rooted in American blues and R&B — grittier and rawer than the polished pop of The Beatles.
Early hits:
“(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction”
“The Last Time”
“Paint It Black”
“19th Nervous Breakdown”
The Stones established themselves as the edgy, dangerous alternative to the clean-cut pop stars of the day.
The Bad Boys of Rock (Late 60s–Early 70s)
Albums like:
Beggars Banquet (1968)
Let It Bleed (1969)
Sticky Fingers (1971)
Exile on Main St. (1972)
These works blended blues, rock, country, gospel, and gritty realism — creating the blueprint for rock’s golden era.
Iconic tracks:
“Gimme Shelter”
“Sympathy for the Devil”
“Brown Sugar”
“Wild Horses”
After Brian Jones' tragic death in 1969, Mick Taylor joined, contributing to their most critically acclaimed era.
