Inspired initially by the [[Chicago]] school of [[electric blues]] (particularly the South-Side variation), they later took in influences from the [[country blues]] artists of the 1930s such as [[Skip James]] and [[Robert Johnson]]. Evangelical and Fundamentalist [[Christians]] have often taken issue with the band's many songs about drugs (e.g. "Sister Morphine", "Mother's Litle Helper") and perceived references to [[Satanism]] such as "Sympathy for the Devil."

The Stones had a popularity that never died.  A resurgence by the group in the 1990's has continued and they continue to sell out stadiums almost half a century after first coming on the scene.
