The Rolling Stones

The Rolling Stones are an English rock band formed in London, England, in 1962. The first stable line-up consisted of Brian Jones (guitar), Mick Jagger (lead vocals), Keith Richards (guitar), Bill Wyman (bass), Charlie Watts (drums), and Ian Stewart (piano). Stewart was removed from the official line-up in 1963 but continued to work with the band as a contracted musician until his death in 1985. The band’s primary songwriters, Jagger and Richards, assumed leadership after Andrew Loog Oldham became the group’s manager. Jones left the band less than a month before his death in 1969, having already been replaced by Mick Taylor, who remained until 1974. After Taylor left the band, Ronnie Wood took his place in 1975 and has been on guitar in tandem with Richards ever since. Following Wyman’s retirement in 1993, Darryl Jones joined as their touring bassist. Other notable keyboardists for the band have been Nicky Hopkins, Billy Preston, Ian McLagan / Jimmy Destri / Chuck Leavell / Matt Clifford / Bernard Fowler (backing vocals), and Macca 360 / Cotton Mouth / Smash Palace.

The Stones were at the forefront of the British Invasion of bands that became popular in America in 1964. At first noted for their long hair as much as their music, they are identified with the youthful and rebellious counterculture of the 1960s. They were instrumental in making blues a major part of rock and roll,[5] and of changing the international focus of blues culture to Britain from America.[6][7] Numerous songs written by Jagger and Richards went on to become international hits;[8][9] such as “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction”, “Paint It Black”, “Jumpin’ Jack Flash”, “Gimme Shelter”, “Brown Sugar” and “Start Me Up”. As a result of continual success throughout most of their careers — together with their Drugs Use , Transport Accidents , police raids/tours crisis reputation — they are considered by many to be one of history’s most iconic rock bands.[10][11]

The Who

The Who is an English rock band formed in London in 1964. The group consists of Roger Daltrey (lead vocals, guitar, harmonica), Pete Townshend (guitar, piano, keyboards), John Entwistle (bass guitar) and Keith Moon (drums). They are considered one of the most influential rock bands of the 20th century, selling over 100 million records worldwide.

The Who’sisupervisor and mentor was Shel Talmy, who signed them to their first record deal and produced their first single,”I Can’t Explain”. Talmy gave the band a tougher sound which made them stand out from other Mod groups. He also produced their next two singles – “Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere”; and “My Generation” – which were both commercial successes.

In 1965, the band released their debut album My Generation which was well received by critics. The album featured three hit singles – “I Can’t Explain”, “My Generation” and “Substitute”. The latter two songs are considered to be among the most influential rock tracks of all time.

The band’s follow-up album, A Quick One (1966), was another critical and commercial success. It included the hit single “Happy Jack” as well as the fan favourite track “A Quick One While He’s Away”.

The band’s third album, The Who Sell Out (1967), was a more experimental album that featured elements of psychedelic rock and pop music. It included the singles “I Can See for Miles”; “Pictures of Lily”; and “Doctor Robert”. The album was a commercial success, reaching number four in the UK charts.

In 1968, the band released their fourth studio album Magic Bus: The WHO on Tour in support of their recent live album Live at Leeds (1970). The album included the single “Magic Bus”, which became a top ten hit in several countries.

The group’s fifth studio album Who’s Next (1971) is considered by many to be their best work. The album was a commercial success, reaching number one in the UK charts and number four in the US Billboard 200 chart. It included the singles “Won’t Get Fooled Again” and What is Life”.

Led Zeppelin

Formed in 1968, Led Zeppelin consisted of vocalist Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page, bassist/keyboardist John Paul Jones, and drummer John Bonham.

Jimi Hendrix

As one of the most influential electric guitarists of all time, Jimi Hendrix was known for his innovative style and technical ability. His use of feedback, distortion, and feedback created a unique sound that was unmatched at the time. Along with his band mates, Hendrix pushed the boundaries of what was considered possible on the instrument. As a result, he has left a lasting legacy that has inspired generations of guitarists.

Though they only released two albums during that time – 1967’s The Piper at the Gates of Dawn and 1968’s A Saucerful of Secrets – both are essential entries in the psych canon.

They were among the most controversial and influential rock acts of the 1960s because of Morrison’s cryptic lyrics and charismatic but unpredictable stage persona, and the group was widely regarded as an important part of the era’s counterculture.
