The Rolling Stones are a veritable institution of rock music, with a legacy spanning over half a century, marked by an innovative blend of blues, rock and roll, and a raw, rebellious energy that has seldom been matched. Formed in London in 1962, the original lineup consisted of the iconic duo Mick Jagger on lead vocals and Keith Richards on guitar, with Brian Jones, Charlie Watts, and Bill Wyman rounding out the group. The band swiftly garnered fame with their gritty performances and chart-topping hits like "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," "Paint It Black," and "Sympathy for the Devil." Over the years, they solidified their status as rock legends with albums like "Sticky Fingers" and "Exile on Main St.," exuding a swagger and sense of danger that became their trademark.

Persistently adapting and evolving, The Rolling Stones have continued to produce music and tour, enthralling audiences across generations. Their unwavering staying power and relevance are reflected in recent releases such as "GRRR Live!," which capture the electrifying energy of their live performances, and the continuation of their musical exploration as showcased in the "Influences" series. Their ability to consistently draw from a rich blues heritage and contemporary sounds, as seen in remixes such as "Mess It Up (Purple Disco Machine Remix)," showcases a band that, despite its veteran status, remains as dynamic and boundary-pushing as ever. The Rolling Stones' enduring impact on music and popular culture cannot be overstated, with countless bands and musicians citing them as a major influence on their own work.
