The Rolling Stones

The Rolling Stones turned American blues into a language of English insolence, dirty with street, sex, fear and irony. Starting in 1962, they went from London clubs to becoming a machine of popular mythology: Brian Jones as the founding ghost, Jagger and Richards as an electric pact, Charlie Watts as the moral pulse.

From raw R&B to the decadent exile of the 70s, from the global stadium to the late-career revival, the band made rock a theater of survival.

Why listen to The Rolling Stones?

Listening to the Stones is putting your ear to the moment the blues became contraband, pose, threat and collective memory.
