From those early years in London (1962) to those great times in Barcelona and the world, touring, entertaining, singing and composing (2023), The Rolling Stones were, are and will remain the longest lasting rock band and the greatest rock and roll band in the world. (Of course I do not count The Beatles, my personal favourite, because John, George, Paul and Ringo did a lot more than just blues oriented rock and roll)… And that is not to say that the Rolling Stones did not venture out of rock and roll and the blues. They certainly did, but they always came back to their roots.
They have brought us some of the best rocking pieces that I have ever heard. I still rock to «Brown Sugar«, «Satisfaction«, Street Fighting Man«, «Honky Tonk Women» and so many others. And although I grew up (and still am) a Beatles fan, I always loved the Stones side by side with the four lads from Liverpool.
My favourite part of the Stones seven decades were the first years, perhaps up to Beggar’s Banquet. I really didn’t care too much for their «disco» days, except for «Waiting on a Friend» from 1981. When they came back to rock, in 1994 and released Voodoo Lounge I regained total interest in the band…
From the early years this is one of my favourite…
Cheers

The Rolling Stones’ early music is iconic and played a pivotal role in shaping the landscape of rock and roll. Their debut in the 1960s marked a significant moment in the history of music. Their sound was raw, energetic, and often rooted in rhythm and blues. It was characterized by a gritty, rebellious attitude that resonated with the youth of that era.
Albums like «The Rolling Stones» (1964), «12 x 5» (1964), and «Out of Our Heads» (1965) showcased their early bluesy sound and rock ‘n’ roll swagger. The band’s ability to cover blues classics while also creating their own original material set them apart. Songs like «Satisfaction,» «Paint It Black,» and «Jumpin’ Jack Flash» from their early period are still beloved classics.
The early music of the Rolling Stones was marked by the charismatic partnership between Mick Jagger’s dynamic frontmanship and Keith Richards’ unforgettable guitar riffs. It was the beginning of a career that has spanned several decades and cemented the Rolling Stones as one of the greatest rock bands of all time. Their early music is a testament to the enduring appeal of rock and roll and continues to be celebrated by fans and musicians alike.

Hackney Diamonds is pretty good, a lot of the old Stones feel to it.
