The Rolling Stones are an English rock band formed in London in May 1962. They have become one of the longest-lived and most commercially successful groups in rock history. With their induction into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1989, they solidified their status as iconic performers.Throughout their extensive career, The Rolling Stones have had various talented members contributing to their sound. From Mick Jagger's captivating lead vocals and harmonica skills to Keith Richards' mastery of lead and rhythm guitars, this band has consistently delivered memorable performances.With hits spanning decades, The Rolling Stones continue to captivate audiences with their energetic live shows and timeless music. Their enduring legacy makes them a must-listen for any rock enthusiast or music lover.

Up until 1983's Undercover, it had been quite a long time since rock's reigning aristocracy made anything besides their status as such (and the rewards thereof) an album's theme. But with the exception of She Was Hot, a lustful rocker that wouldn't have sounded out of place on Some Girls, this year's Rolling Stones had something else on their minds. There's violence amidst the freaky reggae and soul of Undercover's grooves, a darkness unfelt on a stones album since altamont made them want to leave such devilish business behind. With afro-cuban percussion and dub textures scattered throughout, Undercover sounds like a soundtrack to a bloody caribbean coup d'etat. The machine-gun rattle of linndrums on Feel on Baby, the viciously dubbed-out guitars of the title track, and Jagger's reliance on sado-masochism as a central lyrical theme (Tie You Up and Pretty Beat Up being the most obvious examples) add to the notion that the Stones were reflecting a world gone wrong back upon its audience. but past its bleakness, Undercover is among the last exciting bits of music the Stones ventured to make.
