In a hardshell case.The Rolling Stones are one of the most enduring rock and roll bands, founded in London, England in 1962 and continuing to record and tour well into the 21st century. The band's first stable lineup of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Bill Wyman, and Charlie Watts started playing covers before recording and releasing their own material in the latter half of the 1960s. Jones left the band in 1969, replaced by Mick Taylor, and continued to produce #1 albums in the 1970s with Sticky Fingers (1971), Exile on Main St. (1972) and Goats Head Soup (1973). Taylor left in 1974, with Ronnie Wood joining in 1975. The Stones continued to dominate the rock charts, with Black and Blue (1976) and Some Girls (1978) rounding out the decade as #1 albums on the Billboard 200 list. The Rolling Stones continued to record throughout the 1980s and 1990s, with 1981's Tattoo You reaching #1 on the Billboard chart. Their most recent album, Hackney Diamonds (2023) saw the band return to critic success, and features some recording tracks of drummer Charlie Watts who passed away in 2021.
The Rolling Stones were one of the first bands to capture the blues influence of rock music to create the quintessential style of classic rock and roll. The songwriting partnership of Jagger and Richards has produced numerous top 10 singles, with the band having the fourth most record sales of all time. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989.
