Rooted in blues and early rock and roll, the Rolling Stones started out playing covers and were at the forefront of the British Invasion in 1964, becoming identified with the youthful and rebellious counterculture of the 1960s. They then found greater success with their own material, as "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" (1965), "Get Off of My Cloud" (1965), and "Paint It Black" (1966) became international number-one hits. Aftermath (1966) – their first entirely original album – is considered by The Daily Telegraph to be the most important of their formative records. In 1967, they had the double-sided hit "Ruby Tuesday"/"Let's Spend the Night Together" and experimented with psychedelic rock on Their Satanic Majesties Request. They returned to their rhythm and blues roots with hit songs such as "Jumpin' Jack Flash" (1968) and "Honky Tonk Women" (1969), and albums such as Beggars Banquet (1968), featuring "Sympathy for the Devil", and Let It Bleed (1969), featuring "You Can't Always Get What You Want" and "Gimme Shelter". Let It Bleed was the first of five consecutive number-one albums in the UK.
Jones left the band shortly before his death in 1969, having been replaced by guitarist Mick Taylor. That year they were first introduced on stage as "The Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World". Sticky Fingers (1971), which yielded "Brown Sugar" and included the first usage of their tongue and lips logo, was their first of eight consecutive number-one studio albums in the US. Exile on Main St. (1972), featuring "Tumbling Dice", and Goats Head Soup (1973), yielding the hit ballad "Angie", were also best sellers. Taylor was replaced by Ron Wood in 1974. The band continued to release successful albums, including their two largest sellers: Some Girls (1978), featuring "Miss You", and Tattoo You (1981), featuring "Start Me Up". Steel Wheels (1989) was widely considered a comeback album and was followed by Voodoo Lounge (1994), a worldwide number-one album. Both releases were promoted by large stadium and arena tours, as the Stones continued to be a huge concert attraction; by 2007 they had recorded the all-time highest-grossing concert tour three times, and as recently as 2021 they were the highest-earning live act of the year. From Wyman's departure in 1993 to Watts' death in 2021, the band continued as a four-piece core, with Darryl Jones playing bass on tour and on most studio recordings, while Steve Jordan became their touring drummer following Watts' death. Their 2016 album, Blue & Lonesome, became their twelfth UK number-one album.
The Rolling Stones' estimated record sales of 200 million make them one of the best-selling music artists of all time. The band has won three Grammy Awards and a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989 and the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2004. Billboard magazine and Rolling Stone have ranked the band as one of the greatest of all time.

Come On
The Rolling Stones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All day long I'm walkin' 'cause I couldn't get my car started
Laid off from my job and I can't afford to check it
I wish somebody'd come along and run into it and wreck it
Come on, since me and my baby parted
Come on, I can't get started
Come on, I can't afford to check it
I wish somebody'd come along and run into it and wreck it
Everything is wrong since I've been without you
Every night I lay awake thinkin' about you
Every time the phone rings it sounds like thunder
Some stupid guy tryin' to reach another number
Come on, since I've been without you
Come on, always thinkin' about you
Come on, phone sounds like thunder
Some stupid guy tryin' to reach another number
Everything is wrong since I last saw you, baby
I really want to see you and I don't mean maybe
I'm doin' ev'rything tryin' to make you see
That I belong to you, hon, and you belong to me
Come on, I want to see you, baby
Come on, I don't mean maybe
Come on, I'm tryin' to make you see
That I belong to you and you belong to me
Come on, I gotta see you, baby
Come on, I don't mean maybe
Come on, I've gotta make you see
That I belong to you and you belong to me
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
The Rolling Stones’s song "Come On" is about the difficulties of life after a breakup. The singer is struggling to adjust to life without his significant other, and everything seems to be going wrong since they parted ways. He talks about how he is having a hard time moving on and is still constantly thinking about his ex. The lyrics show how he is trying to find ways to cope with the situation, such as wishing someone else would run into his car to make matters worse. The chorus, "Come on," is used to urge his ex to take him back, stating that they belong together.
The lyrics are relatable and highlight the emotions one goes through after a breakup, especially when the breakup was unexpected. The song was written during a time when The Rolling Stones were trying to establish their identity in the music industry. It was released as their debut single, and became a commercial success, peaking at #21 on the UK Singles Chart.
