Offering a different sound then other rock groups at the time, the Rolling Stones have gone down in history offering change and a deeper heavier rock. They opened the door to heavier sounds that soon followed.

This guy was a genius - a real master of the guitar. I think my favorite is All Along the Watchtower. In terms of albums, I like the Greatest Hits one - it has all his good stuff on there.
