What is it about them that boosts testosterone and makes women go weak-kneed? Four decades on, it's an easy question to tackle. The Stones swagger. They strut their stuff.
They're still the bad boys of rock. The kind you wouldn't want your daughters dating. It's still a lot like their campaign in the 60s, when then-manager Andrew Loog Oldham publicised the band using adverts that read: 'Would you let your daughter marry a Rolling Stone?'
Which also explains why controversy has followed them like a persistent groupie.
