They pioneered the gritty, rhythmic sound that defined hard rock, with their first stable lineup including singer Mick Jagger, multi-instrumentalist Brian Jones, guitarist Keith Richards, bassist Bill Wyman and drummer Charlie Watts. After Andrew Loog Oldham became their manager in 1963, Jagger and Richards became the band's main creative force.
