The Rolling Stones are on their way to Minneapolis, TCF Bank Stadium, June 3rd and they will sell out, just FYI. They no doubt made an impact in 1965 and never looked back. 

A lot of their recordings were R&B covers in 1965 but it wouldn't be long when they gain credibility and commercial success with original songs.

The Mick Jagger. Keith Richards combo would produce tunes like "Heart of Stone," "Get Off My Cloud" and  "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction."

  • 'The Rolling Stones Now!'
  • 'Out of Our Heads'
  • 'Decembers Children'

The above were just a few of their essential albums but those were just the tip of the iceberg.

Essential songs from 'The Rolling Stones, Now!':

  • "Little Red Rooster"
  • "Heart of Stone"
  • "Off the Hook"

The LP 'Out of Our Heads':

  • "I Can't Get No Satisfaction"

From 'Decembers Children':

  • "Get Off of My Cloud"
  • "As Tears Go By"
  • "I'm Free"

"Get off of My Cloud" (VIDEO below):

"Get Off My Cloud was basically a response to people knocking on our door asking us for the follow up to 'Satisfaction,' which was such an enormous hit worldwide. This, to us, was mind-blowing. I mean not only was it a #1 record but, boom! We thought, 'At last. We can sit back and maybe think about events.' Suddenly there's the knock at the door and of course what came out of that was Get Off Of My Cloud. Because within 3 weeks, in those days hey, they want another single. And we weren't quite ready for that. So it was our response to the knock at the door: Get off of my cloud. And I'm surprised that it did so well. I mean it has a certain charm but I really remember it as a knee-jerk reaction. And it came out better than I thought." (Keith Richards)
