The Rolling Stones
Beggars Banquet
The Rolling Stones' iconic album 'Beggars Banquet' was released in 1968 as the band's eighth studio album. It is widely regarded as one of the greatest rock albums of all time, featuring classic tracks such as 'Sympathy for the Devil' and 'Street Fighting Man'. Interestingly, the album was initially banned by some radio stations because of its controversial cover artwork, which depicted a bathroom wall covered in graffiti. The album was also the first to feature the iconic tongue logo, which was designed by the artist John Pasche. The album was also the first to feature lead guitarist Keith Richards' songwriting contributions, as well as the first to feature new drummer Charlie Watts. Beggars Banquet proved to be a turning point in the Rolling Stones' career, with the band finally achieving the commercial success they had been striving for.
