Jagger and Richards had hit their stride among But it started slowly. The Stones’ April 1964 debut the top songwriting teams, not only of the British album, The Rolling Stones, which came out in the Invasion, but of 1960s rock as a whole. U.S. the following month with a slightly different Not to say these early Stones gems were formulaic, tracklist as well as the added title “England’s Newest but they were readily identifiable well beyond Mick Hit Makers,” features the Jagger-Richards tune Jagger’s inimitable voice. He and Richards had hit “Tell Me”—the group’s first original A-side single— on one of the most winning song formats in rock and two other originals credited to Nanker Phelge, history, fitting appropriate lyrics that spoke openly a pseudonym for Jagger, Richards, Brian Jones, and honestly to their generation on to fundamental Bill Wyman, and Charlie Watts, as well as Andrew rock guitar riffs and rhythm tracks.

The single, “Paint It, Black” stands out instantly By 1969, The Rolling Stones were truly at the height due to Brian Jones’ stunning use of the sitar, which of their songwriting prowess. Virtually the entire Let It George Harrison had pioneered a year earlier on Bleed album—the title track, the apocalyptic “Gimme “Norwegian Wood.” Shelter,” “Country Honk” (the hillbilly companion to big hit “Honky Tonk Women”), the rare Richards lead Jones further textures the album with other vocal “You Got the Silver,” the ominous “Midnight comparatively exotic instruments including Rambler,” and the cynical yet affirmative anthem “You Appalachian dulcimer (on “Lady Jane”) and Can’t Always Get What You Want”—merits inclusion vibraphone (“Under My Thumb”). in any compilation of key Rolling Stones songs. The musical range of the Stones’ songs extends The Stones then finished their extraordinarily fruitful further on Between the Buttons (1967), particularly ABKCO era with such monster hits and album tracks the lead single “Ruby Tuesday,” which features as “Brown Sugar,” “Wild Horses,” and “Can’t You Jones’s evocative recorder. The single stands out, Hear Me Knocking,” showing a new approach fueled too, for being two-sided, with one of the Stones’ by the fresh guitar play of Mick Taylor, who replaced sauciest songs, “Let’s Spend the Night Together,” Jones in 1969. on the flip.
