"I know it's only Rock n' Roll but I Like It"

Original leader Jones was fired from The Rolling Stones and eventually died in 1969 and was replaced by twenty year old Mick Taylor. It was during their 1969 American tour that The Rolling Stones were introduced and have often been referred to subsequently as "The Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World". Taylor quit The Rolling Stones in 1974, to be replaced by former Faces guitarist Ron Wood. Wyman would leave The Rolling Stones in 1993.

The Rolling Stones have released 55 albums of original work and compilations, and The Rolling Stones have had 37 top-10 singles. The Rolling Stones have sold over 200 million albums worldwide.
