The Rolling Stones, who formed in London 1962, are one of the most influential rock bands of all time. Conceived as a response to the clean-cut aesthetic of the Beatles, the Rolling Stones embody many characteristics that typify rock n' roll and the rebellious counter culture of the 1960s.
The unfathomable power of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards songwriting dualism is felt most forcefully on Beggars Banquet (1968), Let It Bleed (1969), Sticky Fingers (1971), and Exile on Main St. (1972).
Over their career The Rolling Stones have released 30 studio albums selling over 240 million units worldwide.
