I've heard of them before! But never really listened to them, for whatever reason. What can you tell me about them that might get me into them?
They are an English rock band formed in 1962. They were an early pioneer of rock music.
What made them a pioneer? Or can you tell me more about their success?
Jagger's distinctive voice and Keith Richards guitar style influenced the sound of rock post Elvis.
Interesting. Maybe I'll have to give them a listen. What are some of their hits?
In the 1960s Jagger even acted in several films. You may have heard "I can't get no (satisfaction" before.
I have, yeah! What's a fun fact about them that you like to tell people?

Sir Michael Philip Jagger (born 26 July 1943) is an English singer, songwriter, actor, and film producer who gained worldwide fame as the lead singer and one of the founder members of the Rolling Stones. Jagger's career has spanned over five decades, and he has been described as "one of the most popular and influential frontmen in the history of rock & roll". His distinctive voice and energetic live performances, along with Keith Richards' guitar style, have been the trademark of the Rolling
life; he wrote bits and pieces but he never presented them to us. No doubt he spent hours, weeks, working on things, but his paranoia was so great that he could never bring himself to present them to us". In 1995, Mick Jagger told "Rolling Stone" magazine that Jones had been jealous of the Jagger/Richards songwriting team, and added: "To be honest, Brian had no talent for writing songs. None. I've never known a guy with less talent for songwriting.
