They initially played in a garage band called the Blues Boys, which later evolved into The Rolling Stones after recruiting members such as Brian Jones, Ian Stewart, and Charlie Watts. The band's first stable lineup included Jagger, Richards, Jones, bassist Bill Wyman, and drummer Charlie Watts, with Jagger and Richards quickly becoming the primary songwriting duo.

Over the years, the band has released 31 studio albums, with classics like "Sticky Fingers" and "Exile on Main St." solidifying their status in rock history. Despite lineup changes, including the departure of Brian Jones in 1969 and the addition of Ronnie Wood in 1975, the band has remained active and influential.

The Rolling Stones are an English rock band formed in London in 1962. Active for over six decades, they are one of the most popular, influential, and enduring bands of the rock era. In the early 1960s, the band pioneered the gritty, rhythmically driven sound that came to define hard rock. Their first stable line-up consisted of vocalist Mick Jagger, guitarist Keith Richards, multi-instrumentalist Brian Jones, bassist Bill Wyman, and drummer Charlie Watts, after keyboardist Ian Stewart was side-lined by their manager Andrew Loog Oldham. During their early years, Jones was the primary leader. Oldham encouraged them to write their own songs. The Jagger–Richards partnership soon became the band's primary songwriting and creative force.
