R is for the Rolling Stones

They're called the World's Greatest Rock and Roll Band -- and for good reason.

The Rolling Stones have produced an astonishing body of work that goes back to frickin' 1962. Nearly 50 years worth of memorable music, with so many songs that sound as fresh today as when they were first recorded.

"Satisfaction"
"Honky Tonk Women"
"Start Me Up"
"Brown Sugar"
"You Can't Always Get What You Want"

The list goes on and on.

Except for Lennon and McCartney, I can't think of another songwriting duo as prolific -- and as good -- as Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. Plus, the Stones are still the consummate performers.
