滚石合唱团(Rolling Stones)

英国乐团。最初成员为杰格（出生於1943年）、理查兹（出生於1943年）、琼斯（1944～1969）、怀曼（出生於1936年）和瓦兹（出生於1941年）。1969年泰勒（出生於1948年）取代琼斯，1976年伍德（出生於1947年）又取代泰勒。滚石合唱团组建於1962年。当时一直断断续续在伦敦某蓝调乐团演出的杰格、理查兹和琼斯吸收怀曼一起组成自己的乐团。瓦兹於1963年加入。杰格主唱，琼斯和理查兹弹吉他，怀曼奏低音吉他，瓦兹击鼓。「滚石」这一名称源自沃特斯的一首歌曲。1966年一首又一首的优秀歌曲使它成为摇滚乐听众尽心目中仅次於披头合唱团的乐团。演出的歌曲大多出自杰格和理查兹笔下。它的音乐的特徵是强烈的基调节奏、一针见血的讽刺性歌词、简单但富有表现力的乐器伴奏。随着《乞丐的宴会》（1968）和《流亡梅因街》（1972）等专辑的发行，滚石合唱团声名大噪，达到顶峰。在其他1960年代的正统摇滚乐团先後解散很久後，滚石乐团仍继续演出。

Rolling Stones

British musical group. Its original members were Mick Jagger (born 1943), Keith Richards (born 1943), Brian Jones (1944-1969), Bill Wyman (born 1936), and Charlie Watts (born 1941). Jones was succeeded by Mick Taylor (born 1948) in 1969, who was replaced in turn by Ron Wood (born 1947) in 1976. The band was formed in 1962 when Jagger, Richards, and Jones, who had been performing sporadically in a blues band, recruited Wyman and formed their own group. Watts joined the band in 1963. Jagger was the lead vocalist, while Jones and Richards played guitars, Wyman played bass, and Watts played drums. The band's name was adopted from a M. Waters song. By 1966 a series of outstanding songs had made the band second in popularity only to the Beatles. Jagger and Richards wrote most of its songs; their songs are marked by a driving backbeat, biting and satirical lyrics, and simple but expressive instrumental accompaniments. The group reached the height of its popularity with such albums as Beggar's Banquet (1968) and Exile on Main Street (1972). They have continued to perform long after the other classic rock bands of the 1960s disbanded.
