Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards lets Mick Jagger be the primary voice in the band. The song “Happy” is one of few Stones tunes where Richards sings lead instead of Jagger. Yet the guitarist is plenty vocal outside the group. He’ll call out bands he doesn’t like in a heartbeat, but the opinionated Richards praised Ronnie Wood with just six words after Wood joined the Stones.

The Rolling Stones cemented their status as one of the biggest bands in the world by the late 1960s. They released four classic albums — Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, and Exile on Main St. — between 1968 and 1972. Richards believed his band was the best around.
The guitarist gave hilariously critical reviews of several rock bands before the Stones’ 1969 tour.
