Mick Jagger is the awesome lead singer of the band. Not only does he have a cocky attitude, but he's also one of the few members still around!

What I like about Keith Richards' guitar playing is that it didn't matter how complex it was. What mattered was how good it sounded.
His playing style is simple, but good!
He's the definition of cool.

By Steven Van Zandt, Rolling Stone Magazine: "In the beginning, it was Brian Jones' band. He named them, managed them, got the gigs, and wrote to the paper when they got bad reviews. The attitude and aggressiveness first came from him. And the tradition came from him. He was using the blues pseudonym Elmo Lewis and playing bottleneck guitar. Then, on albums like Aftermath, he was playing all of these other instruments: dulcimer, harpsichord, sitar. He was so inventive and important. If anybody gets left out of the Stones' story, he's the one."
Brian Jones is the reason why the Stones are together. He influenced all of them by showing them the ropes of the band. The respect he got was getting kicked out of the band and then drowning. Poor guy. Sure, he had problems, but he was a poor soul. Rest in peace, Brian.

He was the second guitarist at the time when the Stones were at their highest peak. Too bad he was underpaid. Keith Richards can be such a greedy bastard sometimes.
Mick Taylor helped the Stones become the greatest rock and roll band in the world.
He was and is the best player in the business. He's purposely underrated.
