The 1960s were a coming of age for the Rolling Stones. Raised in the aftermath of World War II, Brian Jones, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman and Ian Stewart came together with one common interest — rhythm and blues music. The 1970s was a decade of extremes for the Rolling Stones. They rose to the height of their creative powers, spun downward under stardoms weight and then climbed back up again.

READ EM AND WEEP, STONES > beetles!
Altamont showed what can happen when you give some violent, armed, redneck, bikers the job of policing a large dancing crowd and paying them with beer which they are allowed to drink whilst on ‘duty’. That and the great lesson of NEVER NEVER NEVER bring a gun to a concert. That’s what it showed it didn’t show that flower power was crap or woodstock was a fluke.
I love the Stones, BUT can’t someone make a documentary or refer to them at all with out using that way over blown trite cliché ‘The GREATEST Rock n’ Roll Band in the world’ excuse me I’ve had enough of that I though cliches’ were to be avoided apparently this is an exception or could it be that the people who write about music aren’t really that good and lack imagination.
Terrible mistake in this about the Stones’ discovery by Andrew Oldham. Oldham’s minion talks about the two of them going to Eel Pie Island one Sunday night to see them play, and the screen shows the Station Hotel, Richmond, which is where this idiot actually went to see them. This stuff is Stones 101, but the producers couldn’t get it right. (Yes, the Stones also played the Island at the time, but Oldham first saw them at the Station Hotel, a legendary encounter known to every Stones scholar).
yes
Exile On Main Street is the greatest album of all time!
What are you talking about? The only thing that wasn’t too good was how their US albums were messed with. The Stones are an entirely different band from the Beatles, as can easily be determined by their 60’s concerts. Yet despite such stupid diatride you’ve never even heard some of their albums. Get OFF of your cloud, man!
because everyone BUYS music, right? No one listens on you-tube.. downloads illegally…. blah blah. So the Beatles have better marketing is what you mean, right?
the beatles are better,anything the beatles done the stones done,but stones are 2nd u2 should not even be mentioned in the same breathe as them!! and you cannot judge by sales look at bob dylan,and he has wrote better songs then both!!
Typical beatle response, pandering to public opinion. Give me a break, I hope u r smarter than this. Fact is the Stones still exist, and their career cannot be judged until it is over, but longevity, groundbreaking tours, albums, and singles, already put the Stones in their own league! Stones are the greatest.
Could be, but U2 does not have the hits like the stones. Combine the stones hits, albums, and tours, and longevity, the Stones are the greatest!
U2 are the second biggest touring band and money makers, so does that mean they are #2 best?!

BORING!!! Sales does not mean better. The Stones are the biggest live band ever! Huge sales, and they succeeded in multiple eras. STONES ARE BETTER THAN THE BEATLES, FACT!
The Beatles are the top selling band of all time , that’s a fact – not the Stones, with slaes of over 1 billion. The Beatles are actually the top selling act of all time (Elvis is 2nd)
Richtig. Hab ich mir auch gedacht.
The rolling stones are the biggest band ever making money! Biggest touring band ever. Common knowledge. Are u an envious beatle fan?
I am really curious what exactly did you read in the guiness book?
wasn’t Keith born on the 18th of December?
LOL, the Stones were arrested many times, targeted by the british police and the Stones songs were far more threatening! Don’t be foolish!
