Description:

The Rolling Stones are revered as one of the greatest live acts of all time. In 2005 they were awarded by World Music Awards the accolade of greatest touring band of all time. They have sold an estimated 250m records and in the UK have eight no.1 singles and twelve no.1 albums.

Since the late 1960s, people have called The Rolling Stones “The Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World”. It was a phrase that began as a hyped-up onstage introduction but stuck, despite the Stones’ occasional protestations to the contrary. It is not hard to see why. Over the course of the past 60 years, their singles and albums have produced a string of evergreen rock classics, powered by some of the greatest guitar riffs ever written.
