The Rolling Stones

Blues
BluesPsychedelic rockRhythm and blues

The Rolling Stones is a Blues and Psychedelic rock act. Their catalogue also touches Rhythm and blues and Rock. Their sound grew out of Hank Snow, The Beatles, Chuck Berry, John Lee Hooker and Robert Johnson. Those roots explain a lot about how The Rolling Stones arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Faces, Ron Wood, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Cream and Rod Stewart, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Shakira, Lenny Kravitz, Oasis, Jonas Brothers and Alan Menken, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 467 connections around The Rolling Stones, reaching back through Hank Snow and forward to Shakira.
