| | The Rolling Stones |
 | | The Stones changed all of that, performing music that maybe wasn't as loud as you'd expect, but somehow managed to combine the creepy mystique of their blues idols with true assholish snottiness of middle-class UK teenagers. |
 | | From the very beginning, the Stones had a pretty unique style of production; almost all of the songs, and particularly the slow bluesy ones, sound as if they were recorded inside a cave, with the sonic waves extending to you from somewhere underground. |
 | | In 1964, the Stones had a blues soul, in the incarnation of Brian, and a rock'n'roll soul, in the incarnation of Keith; and they had a sleazy, aggressive frontman, whose snappy delivery was great for both. |
