I see a line of cars and they’re all painted black, With flowers and my love, both never to come back

The Rolling Stones – Doyle’s Space: Music Hall of Fame

The original rock and roll rebels

My next entry into my music hall of fame is The Rolling Stones. Their music has been on the radio since I was 5 years old and I hear their songs everyday still. Their 1964 single, a cover of Holly and the Crickets “Not Fade Away” has always been one of my favorites.
