Show Notes
pplpod Episode 12 zeroes in on The Rolling Stones—the blues-obsessed London upstarts who turned swagger into a six-decade institution. We trace the early chessboard: Brian Jones’ founding vision, the Jagger–Richards songwriting engine, Andrew Loog Oldham’s “bad boys” branding, and the electric lift-off from clubs to chart-toppers. Then it’s the golden run—Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Exile on Main St.—with Jimmy Miller at the console and a live show built for danger and groove. We unpack lineup shifts (Mick Taylor to Ronnie Wood), the 1972 tour’s legend, Altamont’s reckoning, the airtight reinventions of Some Girls and Tattoo You, and the band’s late-era endurance—stadium craft, global business savvy, and new songs that keep the engine turning. Sound, myth, survival: how the Stones made the world move and never stopped.
