滚石乐队的前身为“Little Boy Blue and the Blue Boys”乐队,1962年4月更名为“滚石”。乐队成立时共有5名成员,其翻唱和创作的单曲多次在英国及美国打榜。滚石乐队由米克·贾格尔和基思·理查兹组建。这对黄金组合最早相识还是在肯特郡的Dartford上小学时,1960年基思·理查兹在米克·贾格尔的邀请之下加入了Little Boy Blue and the Blue Boys乐队。

The Rolling Stones are an English rock band formed in London in 1962. The first settled line-up consisted of Brian Jones (guitar, harmonica), Ian Stewart (piano), Mick Jagger (lead vocals, harmonica), Keith Richards (guitar), Bill Wyman (bass) and Charlie Watts (drums). Stewart was removed from the official line-up in 1963 but continued as occasional pianist until his death in 1985. Jones departed the band less than a month prior to his death in 1969, having been replaced by Mick Taylor, who remained until 1975. Since then, Ronnie Wood has been on guitar in tandem with Richards. Following Wyman's departure in 1993, Darryl Jones has been the main bassist. Other notable keyboardists for the band have included Nicky Hopkins, active from 1967 to 1982; Billy Preston through the mid-1970s; and Chuck Leavell, active since 1982. The band was first led by Jones but after teaming as the band's songwriters, Jagger and Richards assumed ‘de facto’ leadership.
The Rolling Stones were in the vanguard of the British Invasion of bands that became popular in the US in 1964–65, and are identified with the youthful and rebellious counterculture of the 1960s. After a short period of musical experimentation that culminated with the polarising and largely psychedelic album ‘Their Satanic Majesties Request’ (1967), the group returned to its bluesy roots with ‘Beggars' Banquet’ (1968) which—along with its follow-ups, ‘Let It Bleed’ (1969), ‘Sticky Fingers’ (1971) and ‘Exile on Main St’ (1972)—is generally considered to be the band's best work.
The band continued to release commercially successful records, including ‘Some Girls’ (1978) and ‘Tattoo You’ (1981). In the 1980s, a feud between Jagger and Richards about the band's musical direction almost caused the band to split but they managed to patch up their relationship and have a comeback with ‘Steel Wheels’ (1989), which was followed by a commercially successful concert tour. Since the 1990s, new recorded material from the group has been less well-received and less frequent. Despite this, the Rolling Stones have continued to be big attraction on the live circuit, with record-setting stadium tours in the 1990s and 2000s. By 2007, the band had made what were then four of the top five highest-grossing concert tours of all time.
The Rolling Stones were inducted into the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989, and the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2004. ‘Rolling Stone’ magazine ranked them fourth on the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time" list, and their estimated record sales are above 200 million. In 2008, the band ranked 10th on the ‘Billboard’ Hot 100 All-Time Top Artists chart.
On 11 October 2010, the Stones released ‘Ladies and Gentlemen: The Rolling Stones’ to the cinemas and later on to DVD.
On 4 October 2011, the Stones released ‘The Rolling Stones: Some Girls Live in Texas '78’ to the cinemas and later on to DVD.
The Rolling Stones celebrated their 50th anniversary in the summer of 2012 by releasing a large hardback book titled ‘50’.A new compilation album, GRRR!, was released on 12 November, available in four different formats and including two new tracks, "Doom and Gloom" and "One More Shot".On 25 November 2012, the Stones commenced their 50 & Counting... tour at London's O2 Arena, where they were joined by Jeff Beck.
‘Hyde Park Live’, a live album recorded at Hyde Park on 6 and 13 July 2013, was released exclusively as a digital download through iTunes on 22 July 2013 and peaked at No. 16 in the UK and No. 19 in the US.
In February 2014, the band embarked on the "14 On Fire" tour spanning Middle East, Asia, Australia and Europe.On 17 March 2014, the sudden death of L'Wren Scott, the longtime girlfriend/partner of Jagger, caused their Australian tour to be delayed until October.On 4 June 2014, the Rolling Stones performed for the first time in Israel.
The Rolling Stones embarked on a Latin American tour in February 2016. On 25 March, the band played a bonus show, a free open air concert in Havana, Cuba.On 3 June 2016, The Rolling Stones released, ‘Totally Stripped’, an expanded and reconceived edition of ‘Stripped’, available in multiple formats.
