Quote

Bob Dylan wasn't a big star early on it was the release of his Greatest Hits album in 1967, and the mainstream success of the stoner anthem Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 (Everybody must get stoned!), that really put him on the mainstream map.

The Rolling Stones are truly the greatest rock and roll band in the world and always will be. The last too. Everything that came after them, metal, rap, punk, new wave, pop-rock, you name it... you can trace it all back to the Rolling Stones. They were the first and the last and no one's ever done it better.
