什麼是滾石合唱團

英國樂團。最初成員爲傑格（出生於1943年）、理查茲（出生於1943年）、瓊斯（1944～1969）、懷曼（出生於1936年）和瓦茲（出生於1941年）。1969年泰勒（出生於1948年）取代瓊斯，1976年伍德（出生於1947年）又取代泰勒。滾石合唱團組建於1962年。當時一直斷斷續續在倫敦某藍調樂團演出的傑格、理查茲和瓊斯吸收懷曼一起組成自己的樂團。瓦茲於1963年加入。傑格主唱，瓊斯和理查茲彈吉他，懷曼奏低音吉他，瓦茲擊鼓。「滾石」這一名稱源自沃特斯的一首歌曲。1966年一首又一首的優秀歌曲使它成爲搖滾樂聽衆盡心目中僅次於披頭合唱團的樂團。演出的歌曲大多出自傑格和理查茲筆下。它的音樂的特徵是強烈的基調節奏、一針見血的諷刺性歌詞、簡單但富有表現力的樂器伴奏。隨着《乞丐的宴會》（1968）和《流亡梅因街》（1972）等專輯的發行，滾石合唱團聲名大噪，達到頂峯。在其他1960年代的正統搖滾樂團先後解散很久後，滾石樂團仍繼續演出。

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.
