Keith Richards a Hannover l'any 2006

The Rolling Stones és un grup britànic de música rock. El nom que ve a significar bales perdudes o caps calents està tret d'una cançó de Muddy Waters.

El grup es va formar l'any 1962 quan encara anaven al col·legi i segueix en actiu. Van fer la seva primera actuació en públic l'octubre d'aquell any, com a teloners d' Alexis Korner. El 7 de juny de 1963 publicaren el seu primer disc, el single amb la cançó Come on, i el 15 d'abril de 1964 el primer llarga durada. Amb It's all over now aconseguiren el seu primer èxit de vendes, arribant al número u el 18 de juliol de 1964.

El seu estil musical va estar influït per la música nord-americana especialment el blues i el Rock and Roll que ells van fusionar en un so basat en la guitarra i prototip del Hard Rock. Si hem de trobar un disc que recull totes aquestes influències de la música d'arrel nord-americana i les porta cap a un estil amb so i missatge propi, aquest és el monumental disc doble Exile on Main Street, del 1972. Curiosament fou gravat a Nellcôte, Villefranche-sur-mer (França). Aquest disc va ser la culminació de quatre discs que per molts dels seus seguidors defineixen l'època d'or de la banda. Els discs Beggars Banquet (1968), Let it Bleed (1969), Sticky Fingers (1971) i el ja citat Exile on Main Street (1972)són considerats àlbums clàssics on el grup es defineix musicalment i assoleix la seva maduresa.

El grup era d'una aparença visual i sonora més dura que la dels Beatles amb qui van rivalitzar musicalment.

La seva cançó més coneguda és Satisfaction , que arribà al número u l' 11 de setembre de 1965, i que és famosa pel "riff" de guitarra elèctrica inicial, que s'ha convertit en un patró d'introducció de moltes cançons .

Altres cançons conegudes són : Get off of my cloud (1965), Paint it black (1966), Let's spend the night together (1967), Jumpin' Jack Flash (1968), Sympathy for the devil (1968), Honky tonk women (1969), Gimme shelter (1969), Brown sugar (1971), Tumbling dice (1972), Angie (1973), It's only rock n'roll (1974), Miss you (1978), Beast of burden (1978), Start me up (1981) i Waitng on a friend (1981) .
