The greatest rock band of all time. Even at 60, Mick Jagger still owns every other rocker. They've written more great songs than just about any band.

The greatest rock band of all time. They've written and recorded more iconic rock and roll songs than most other bands even have played on the radio. These include: Satisfaction, Paint It Black, Start Me Up, Brown Sugar, Street Fighting Man, Jumpin' Jack Flash, and Sympathy For The Devil. The four current members of the Rolling Stones are Mick Jagger (vocals), Keith 'Keef' Richards (guitar/vocals), Ron Wood (guitar), and Charlie Watts (drums).

Came out with four albums from 1968-1972 (Beggars' Banquet, Let It Bleed, sticky Fingers and Exile on Main St.) that define rock'n'roll and encapsulated everything the Beatles, Zeppelin, the Who, and any other 60s band inspired by the blues could never do: keep the sound and soul intact. The other bands just wrote rock music; the Stones did and fused both and as such, are the greatest band ever.
rolling stones own ass

A great rock n' roll band deeply rooted in the blues, R&B(not the contemporary kind), soul, and pretty much every black genre. During the sixties and the early seventies they released albums that are nothing short of timeless classics. Unfortunately, they became more and more commercially oriented after that, and should have retired twenty five years ago. As it stands now, they are an embarassment to what they once were.
Person 1: Did you see the Rolling Stones half-time show? That sucked!
Person 2: Yeah, they do suck now, but they used to be legendary. Just listen to Beggar's Banquet, Let it Bleed, Exile on Main St., or Sticky Fingers!

The GREATEST Rock N Roll Band ever!!!
Some people compare them to the Beatles and try to choose a winner, but remember... The Beatles were a pop band, never a rock n roll band, the Stones are the definition of ROCK N ROLL, and the only rock n roll band of massive popularity to come out of the 60's.

Girl: I wanna listen to some rock, I'm gonna play Abbey Road
Rocker: Abey Road???? are you kidding?? It's a good album but it's not rock n roll! I don't feel the blues or the roll in it.
Girl: But I like all those Beatles songs, they're cute and melodic.
Rocker: I don't like children's music. You go listen to the beatles, I'm gonna listen to real rock n roll baby, I'm gonna listen to the Rolling Stones mofo, Let It Bleed bitch!!!!

when you say "rolling stones" you arent saying a great band, you are saying BEST BAND EVER.
yeah there are other good ones, the Doors, Queen, the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink floyd etc; those are important great bands, BUT NOTHING, i repeat NOTHING can be compared to the ROLLING STONES.
Call it demon pact, call it luck, the truth is pure rock n roll. I mean who hasn't heard SATISFACTION?!?!?!?
Anyway the rolling stones are not a band that you can decide if u like them or not.
This is band that have rocked on during 40 years...and still have it.
