Rolling Stones: Hot Rocks (1964 - 1971) (2x CD) - CD

The Rolling Stones are a British rock 'n' roll band fronted by singer Mick Jagger.

Formed in London in 1962, the band continues to perform to this day. They rose to fame in the early 1960s as a counterpoint to The Beatles. Guitarist Brian Jones was the driving force behind the band in its early days, but as their popularity grew, his leadership waned, and by the end of the decade, he was virtually uninvolved. Singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards became the core of the band and, despite various line-up changes, both remain in the Rolling Stones today.

Brian Jones was the first to lose control to the ultimate 1960s phenomenon: drugs. In the summer of 1969, he drowned in his swimming pool under circumstances that remain unclear. Following his death, the outstanding guitarist Mick Taylor joined the band on a permanent basis. Drug-free and exceptionally talented, Taylor left the group in 1974, and Ronnie Wood soon stepped in to fill the guitarist spot. Shortly after the highly successful Steel Wheels – Urban Jungle tour, which included the band's first ever visit to post-communist Czechoslovakia, bassist Bill Wyman left the group. He was approximately 6 years older than the other members. American Darryl Jones replaced him, though only as an external touring member. The Rolling Stones rank 4th on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 50 greatest artists of all time.
