The Rolling Stones Tour - The Rolling Stones are an English rock band. Their early mission was to share their enthusiasm for rhythm and blues, but they were received as symbols and leaders of rebellious youth. The first settled line-up consisted of Brian Jones on guitar and harmonica, Ian Stewart on piano, Mick Jagger on lead vocals and harmonica, Keith Richards on guitar and backing vocals, Bill Wyman on bass and Charlie Watts on drums. Jones founded and led the band, but Jagger and Richards assumed leadership after becoming the primary songwriters. Jones' increasing physical and mental troubles forced his departure from the band two weeks prior to his drowning death in 1969. Since Wyman left to pursue other interests in 1993, full band members have been Jagger, Richards, Watts and guitarist Ronnie Wood who joined in 1975, replacing Mick Taylor (who had followed Jones). The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted the Rolling Stones in 1989. Rolling Stone magazine ranked them fourth on the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time" list and their album sales are estimated at more than 200 million worldwide.

Popular Rolling Stones album
A Few songs off of their debut:
Can I Get A Wittness: in its original version was a very typical high- grade 1963 Motown product, almost gospel in its melody and construction, yet crossed with pop in its steady handclap beat, backup vocals, and jazzy horns. The Stones didn't change it much, except to lower the key a few notches, give it slightly more of a rock beat and put the instrumental accent on Ian Stewart's boogie-like piano playing.
And a few off of Aftermath are:
Lady Jane: an excellent, delicate love song that proved that the Stones were more versatile composers than many had suspected.
Lady Jane's most prominent riffs are played on a dulcimer, backed by an enchanting, slowly picked guitar figure. Combined with the stateliness of the melody and the introduction of a harpsichord into the arrangement fo much of the song, the atmosphere has justly been viewed as Elizabethan.
