It all began in 1962 when a group of fresh-faced hipsters by the name of the Rollin' Stones performed at the Marquee in London. Nearly five decades, one added "g," and countless groupies later, The Rolling Stones are still going strong. Here are 19 of their greatest hits.

The Rolling Stones have
had many hits over the
span of their impressive
45-year career.

1. "Time Is on My Side" (1964)

"Time Is on My Side," which appeared on
the album 1235, is a cover of a song written by Jerry Ragovoy (Norman Meade) and was first recorded by jazz trombonist Kai
Winding and his Orchestra in 1963. It was the Stones' first top-ten hit in the United States, peaking at number six and spending 13 weeks on the charts.

2. "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" (1965)

"(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," from the Out of Our Heads album, was the band's first number-one single in the United States and is arguably the Stones' best-known song, ranking number two on Rolling Stone magazine's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Mick Jagger once said of the song, "It was the song that really made The Rolling Stones, changed us from just another band into a huge, monster band."

3. "Get Off of My Cloud" (1965)

"Get Off of My Cloud," from the album December's Children (And Everybody's), was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. Although lyrically defiant and acrimonious, the song was penned in response to the band's instant popularity following "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction."

4. "As Tears Go By" (1965)

"As Tears Go By," also from December's Children (And Everybody's), was written by Jagger and Richards but was made famous by Marianne Faithfull, who released a recording of the song in 1964 to rave reviews. The Stones performed their version of the song during their 1966 appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, one of six visits the band made to that show.

5. "19th Nervous Breakdown" (1966)

In "19th Nervous Breakdown," from Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass), the Stones direct their ire at a spoiled young woman who is unable to appreciate life. The song went to number one in the U.K. and number two in the States.

6. "Paint It, Black" (1966)

"Paint It, Black," which appeared on the album Aftermath, is written from the viewpoint of a depressed man who wants to paint everything black to match his dour mood. "Paint It, Black" is among the band's most covered songs, including versions by Duran Duran, Judas Priest, Led Zeppelin, R.E.M., Rush, U2, and the London Symphony Orchestra.
