The Rolling Stones, a name synonymous with both longevity and creativity in music, has left an indelible footprint in the industry. Originally formed in 1962, this English rock band, composed of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood, has churned out numerous chart-topping hits, many of which are accompanied by iconic music videos. From gripping narratives about love and rebellion to showcasing their electrifying stage presence, these videos are a testament to the band's influential artistry that extends beyond their music.
Their 1968 video "Jumpin' Jack Flash," shot in grainy, off-kilter black-and-white gives goosebumps with its eerie vibes - a stark contrast to the many polished videos of the time. Then we have "Paint It, Black" which features an interesting juxtaposition of the band members playing amidst a sea of mannequins, giving the video an eerie and haunting quality. In "Start Me Up," the Stones break the fourth wall with Mick Jagger playfully interacting with the camera. A lesser-known fact about this video is that Jagger’s antics were initially met with backlash from some fans who thought it was overly casual, but it turned out that the band was just far ahead of their time. The video for "Love is Strong," is one of the weirdest in their videography - it features giant-sized band members wandering through the miniature New York cityscape with visuals that are as bewitching as they are slightly bizarre.
In spite of frequent controversy—and perhaps in part because of it—The Rolling Stones, and their visually provocative music videos, have had a tremendous impact on the music video industry. Their contribution carries a whiff of rebellion, a sprinkle of oddity here and there, and a whole lot of rock and roll.
