Lineup
The British icons' original lineup consisted of songwriting team Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, co-founder Brian Jones, and rhythm section Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts. In 1969, Jones left the band and was replaced by Mick Taylor, who was eventually replaced by Ron Wood in the mid-1970s. Except for the retirement of Wyman in 1993, the lineup has stayed pretty much the same since then.
