The Rolling Stones adalah legenda, pada saat mereka pertama kali tampil –tahun 1964– The Beatles tampil sempurna, rambut, harmonisasi serta jasnya, dan mereka membungkuk memberi hormat bersama-sama. Musik The Beatles luar biasa canggihnya, segalanya sangat menarik dan asing di jaman itu, tapi juga menciptakan jarak akibat kesempurnaan itu. Dan pada saat itulah The Rolling Stones membawa pesan, “Mungkinanda juga bisa melakukan itu”. Rambutnya berantakan, harmonisasinya kurang merdu. Dan mungkin tidak ada yang ingat kapan mereka pernah tersenyum. Mereka meniru sikap R&B tradisional, “Kami tidak bergelut dalam dunia hiburan. Kami bukan musik pop”.
Suara Mick Jagger memancarkan daya tarik sensual yang dewasa. Ini bukan sensual dalam pop, –berpegangan tangan kemudian berciuman– ini benar-benar nyata. Jagger memiliki kemampuan berbincang sebagaimana para penyanyi R&B dan blues, setengah bernyani, tidak selalu mencapai nada. Diterimanya suara Mick Jagger di radio pop adalah terbosan baru dalam rock&roll. Dia membuka pintu untuk orang lain. Tiba-tiba saja kemudian seorang Eric Burdon dan Van Morrison tidak terdengar aneh lagi, begitu pula dengan Bob Dylan.
Ini benar-benar unik, seorang penghibur kulit putih yang mengikuti cara kulit hitam. Elvis Presley melakukannya, dan orang berikutnya adalah Mick Jagger. Tak ada pemuda kulit putih lain yang melakukannya. Mereka pernah berdiri dan bernyanyi seperti The Beatles. Mereka membiarkan roh mengendalikan tubuhnya, melepaskan semua batas-batas yang ada, tidak terkendali. Inilah yang dirasakan Mick Jagger. Dia meniru beberapa langkah dari James Brown dan Tina Turner. Gerakan-gerakan aneh yang dilakukan Mick Jagger berasal dari keduanya. Lalu Iggy Pop dan Jim Morrison mengembangkannya.
Pada awalnya The Rolling Stones adalah band milik Brian Jones. Dia pula yang memberikan nama tersebut pada bandnya. Dia bertindak sebagai Manajer yang mengurus tawaran konser dan segala sesuatu yang menyangkut media. Aroma dan keagrasifan The Rolling Stones berasal dari seorang Brian Jones. Begitu juga dengan tradisi. Dia memainkan gitarnya dengan leher botol, lalu pada album-album seperti December’s Children dan Aftermath, dia memainkan berbagai instrumen lain sebagai “pemanis”. Dia begitu kreatif dan penting bagi The Rolling Stones.
Tapi Keith Richards juga telah disepelakan dan dipandang hanya sebagai rhythm-guitarist, padahal solo-solonya lewat “Heart of Stone”, “It’s All Over Now” dan riff-riff hebatnya di “Satisfaction” dan tentunya “The Last Time” yang dianggap oleh The Rolling Stones sendiri sebagai lagu serius pertama yang pernah mereka buat. “Hongky Tonk Woman” hanya terdiri dari satu kunci, lalu dia mengubah seteman versi lima senar, ada pola kunci yang terkait denagn setemannya itu –sebut saja efek “Gimme Shelter”– dimana mereka menambahkan nada suspensi, sehingga menjadi lebih melodis dan ritmis secara bersamaan.
Dibanding denganrhythm section lainnya dalam dunia rock&roll hingga saat ini Bill Wyman dan Charlie Watts paling tahu bagaimana cara bergoyang. Lain halnya dengan sekarang, rock&roll pada jaman itu ditujukan untuk bergoyang. Bisa terbayang betapa serunya berada di Richmond Hotel di London dan Station Hotel sekitar tahun 62 dan 63, penonton menggila, The Rolling Stones juga gila.
Ada banyak generasi masa kini yang hanya mengenal The Rolling Stones sebagai ikon. Tak ada ikatan batin dengan musiknya. Kepada mereka, mungkin harus direkomendasikan empat album pertama yang versi amerika, “England’s Newset Hitmakers”, “12×5″, “Now” dan “Out of Our Hands”. Pelajaran berikutnya adalah era besar kedua, “Beggars Banquet”, “Let It Bleed”, “Sticky Fingers” dan “Exile on Main Street”. Itu merupakan rangkaian album terhebat dalam sejarah, dan semuanya dihasilkan hanya dalam tiga setengah tahun.
Dalam banyak hal, The Rolling Stones bermain lebih baik dibanding sewaktu di tahun 60-an. Mereka cukup berantakan di masa-masa awal–tapi semua orang menikmatinya–. Secara teknis, mereka belum pernah sebagus ini. Masalahnya, power mereka berasal dari 12 album pertama. Hanya sedikit lagu bagus setelah tahun 1972. Sehebat apa mereka seandainya mereka masih membuat album yang semegah konser mereka sekarang ?
Tapi dalam konser, mereka masih dapat menyampaikan kekuatan masa lalu. Masih banyak yang dapat dipelajari dari The Rolling Stones: Tulislah lagu bagus, dan jagalah kesehatan serta gairah untuk bermain setiap malam, dan mungkin kesempatan untuk bisa sehebat Mick Jagger dan hidup lebih lama bisa terwujud. Semua orang takjub karena Keith masih hidup. Dia tampak kebal terhadap segalanya, tapi sebaiknya jangan mencoba ikut-ikutan. Jujur saja: Pemakaian narkoba akan merusak segalanya, termasuk penulisan lagu. Untungnya dia masih bisa bermain dan menjalani tur 40 tahun kemudian. Tak banyak band yang bisa awet sampe 4 tahun, apalagi sampe 40 tahun.
Rasanya tidak ada yang ingin mereka pensiun, karena jika mereka tetap bermain, itu merupakan promosi terbaik untuk lagu-lagunya. Mungkin setting panggungya sekarang sudah jauh lebih ramai, tapi mereka tetap menjadi pusat perhatian. Mereka tetap tampil semaksimal mungkin, dan membuktikan bahwa :
Jika kita tetap berpegang teguh pada prinsip dan tidak berkompromi dengan apa yang sedang terjadi, kita bisa bertahan sangat lama.
Forty Licks (The Rolling Stones)
The band that proclaimed itself "The Greatest Rock & Roll Band in the World" has long since represented rock's most overarching confluence of art and commerce--with a distinct emphasis on the latter in recent decades--a notion this 40-track, five-decade-spanning anthology can't completely escape.
Artist's Choice: Rolling Stones (The Rolling Stones)
James Brown, Al Green, Otis Redding, Muddy Waters, Sly & The Family Stone, The Beach Boys etc. Everyone is on here.
As It Happened (The Rolling Stones)
A unique 4-CD collection of classic interviews with The Rolling Stones, spanning the whole of the band's turbulent existence from the early 1960's to the present day.
No Security [LIVE] (The Rolling Stones)
This is the seventh live Stones album and the second to appear in three years.
Bridges to Babylon (The Rolling Stones)
It's no use comparing Stones albums to Exile on Main St. anymore; the world's greatest rock & roll band clearly substitutes finances for passion these days.
Stripped [LIVE] (The Rolling Stones)
Voodoo Lounge (The Rolling Stones)
Jump Back: Best of 71-93 (The Rolling Stones)
Full title - Jump Back: The Best Of The Rolling Stones 1971-1993'. Never released in the U.S., this collection features 18 of the Stones' best hits after leaving Abkco in 1971, all remastered from the original masters via 20 bit technology. Features 'Start Me Up', 'Brown Sugar', 'It's Only Rock 'N' Roll', 'Mixed Emotions', 'Angie', 'Miss You', 'Hot Stuff', 'Beast Of Burden', 'Wild Horses', 'Bitch', 'Undercover Of The Night', & more! Virgin. 1994. --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.
Flashpoint [LIVE] (The Rolling Stones)
Singles Collection: The London Years (The Rolling Stones)
The most comprehensive anthology of the Rolling Stones' prime early work collects every single from the beginning up through 1971, A- and B-sides.
Steel Wheels (The Rolling Stones)
Dirty Work (The Rolling Stones)
Undercover (The Rolling Stones)
Tattoo You (The Rolling Stones)
® 1981 © 1994 Virgin Records
Often viewed as the band's last great album, Tattoo You contributed one true classic, "Start Me Up," to the Stones' canon.
Emotional Rescue (The Rolling Stones)
Some Girls (The Rolling Stones)
A fresh, uncompromising attempt to incorporate 1978 pop techniques into the band's familiar sound, Some Girls opens with the disco sass of "Miss You" and closes with the self-destructive punk of "Shattered." (Both songs, especially "Miss You," with its distinctive Mel Collins sax solo, remain live showstoppers.)
Love You Live (The Rolling Stones)
1977's Love You Live lands near the top of the list of the Stones' half-dozen live albums; especially for the brief set of Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Muddy Waters, and Howlin' Wolf stuff recorded at Toronto's El Mocambo (while Keith Richards was waiting out the legal hassles of a heroin bust five days earlier).
Black & Blue (The Rolling Stones)
It's Only Rock N Roll (The Rolling Stones)
Goat's Head Soup (The Rolling Stones)
Exile on Main Street (The Rolling Stones)
From the swaggering frustration in the first song ("I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping," Mick Jagger sings in the hyper "Rocks Off"), the Stones speed through familiar neighborhoods of country, blues, and R&B on Exile.
Hot Rocks, 1964-1971 (The Rolling Stones)
It's the rare greatest-hits album that takes on a life of its own. Generally, best-of collections are superceded by updated retrospectives. Hot Rocks is one of the rare exceptions to the rule.
Sticky Fingers (The Rolling Stones)
"Sister Morphine," the heart of guitarist Mick Taylor's first full studio album with the Stones, doesn't get the airplay of "Brown Sugar" or "Wild Horses."
Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out! [LIVE] (The Rolling Stones)
Introduced at the beginning of their second live album as "the greatest rock & roll band in the world," the Stones come off instead as perhaps the world's sloppiest.
Let it Bleed (The Rolling Stones)
One of the Stones' most beloved albums, 1969's Let It Bleed was a benchmark for several reasons.
Through the Past, Darkly (Big Hits, Vol. 2) (The Rolling Stones)
This second greatest hits collection serves up the band's classic mid- '60s period, capped off by the death of Brian Jones for whom this collection is dedicated.
Beggars Banquet (The Rolling Stones)
Opening with "Sympathy for the Devil," the Stones' infamous we-are-evil poem, this all-original 1968 album began a quality streak almost unmatched in rock & roll.
Between The Buttons (The Rolling Stones)
The Stones began their transitional period, from reinvigorating R&B standards (on their early albums) to reinventing rock & roll (on the brilliant four-album streak beginning with Beggars Banquet), on this underrated 1967 collection.
Their Satanic Majesties Request (The Rolling Stones)
Clearly their answer to Sgt. Pepper, or at least "All You Need is Love," Satanic Majesties is actually as sloppy an artifact as Flowers.
Flowers (The Rolling Stones)
So the Stones take off a few months to write, get arrested, the usual, and their U.S. label tosses together the 1967 version of December's Children, complete with tackily precious "psychedelic" artwork.
Aftermath (The Rolling Stones)
For this 1966 album, one Stone asserted himself even more than Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, who for the first time wrote all the album's songs.
Got Live If You Want It! [LIVE] (The Rolling Stones)
Out Of Our Heads (The Rolling Stones)
This one misses a golden opportunity by not including "Get Off of My Cloud" ("Just 'cause you feel so good, d'ya have to drive me out of my head?"), but that's about the only mistake it makes.
The Rolling Stones Now! (The Rolling Stones)
The covers on this 1965 gem are a bit more obscure than on the Stones' first two long-players, not a bad thing for a band still getting its writing chops together (if admirably; "Heart of Stone" and "Surprise, Surprise" are particularly strong).
December's Children (And Everybody's) (The Rolling Stones)
Before this 1965 blues-rock masterpiece, the Stones were the best of the many British bands living out their Muddy Waters dress-up fantasies.
12 X 5 (The Rolling Stones)
The best of the Stones' first three albums of hopped-up R&B, 12 x 5 hints at why there was more to this quintet than to blues-reviving brothers like the Yardbirds and the Animals.
The Rolling Stones (England's Newest Hitmakers) (The Rolling Stones)
The Stones got their groove on early, making one of the few originals here, the blues pastiche "Little by Little," a standout in terms of cool-eyed intensity.
Metamorphosis (The Rolling Stones)
Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass) (The Rolling Stones)
Noteworthy for the first album appearance of "19th Nervous Breakdown" and the hit version of "Time Is on My Side," this first collection in a long line of Rolling Stones retrospectives collects the early singles of a band that was slowly and surely becoming the World's Greatest Rock & Roll Band.
Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus [LIVE] (The Rolling Stones)
Singles 1963-1965 (The Rolling Stones)
The first in a series of three box-set collections, 1963-1965 pulls together the US and UK singles and EPs from the onset of the legendary band's recording career.

Artis:Slank, Sherina, Nugie, DJ Anton, Dwiki Dharmawan, Nadine
Judul:Krisis Air
Album:Single 2010
Info Slank, Sherina, Nugie, DJ Anton, Dwiki Dharmawan, Nadine - Krisis Air
Kepeduliannya terhadap air dan lingkungan, membuat Slank ingin menggarap proyek lagu dan konser Live Earth.
Bersama beberapa musisi ternama seperti Nugie, Nadine Chandrawinata, Sherina, Dwiki Darmawan dan DJ Anton, Slank akan membuat konser tentang kepedulian terhadap air bertajuk Live Earth yang akan digelar di Bali, 18 April 2010 mendatang.
"Yang akan nyanyi saya, Nugie, Sherina, sedangkan musiknya akan dibuat atas kolaborasi Slank, DJ Anton yang nge-mix dan Dwiki Darmawan yang nge-Jazz," kata Kaka di studio Potlot, Pasar Minggu, 10 Maret 2010.
Lagu ini nantinya juga akan buat kampanye dan dimasukkan dalam album terbaru Slank yang akan rilis bulan April mendatang.
"Lagunya tentang air di Indonesia yang melimpah tapi lama-lama hilang, jadi saatnya kita peduli sama air. Kita juga kolaborasi dengan musisi menggunakan bahasa sederhana yang juga akan kita sebar melalui RBT," timpal Bim-bim.
Lewat rasa kepeduliannya, Bim-bim juga berpesan untuk tidak mengotori air. "Jangan kotori air, air laut juga harus dijaga, biar air tanah jadi kondusif. Sekarang saja air tanah di Jakarta sudah banyak yang tidak layak minum," imbuh pria berbadan kurus

lirik krisi air
Ketika sungai sungai kotor
Mata air terkontaminasai
Ketika air tanah berlimbah
Jangan Cuma diam
Dan menunggu
Berbuatlah untuk air
Ketika sumurpun mongering
Ketika bumi makin memanas
Sumber kehidupan gak ada lagi
Jangan Cuma diam
Dan menunggu
Ber hematlah
Berhematlah
Berhemat untuk air
Krisis krisis air air krisis
Krisis krisis air air krisis
Krisis krisis air air krisis
Ketika kesegaran hilang
Ketika kehausan dating
Ketika kematian menjelang
Jangan Cuma diam

Berlarilah untuk air

puisi
Air air air
Ember kosong mencuri tenang dari tidurku
Lagi lagi bingkai mimpi kehilangan satu sudut
Percuma aku bangun yang kulihat hanya bumi menangis sendu
Air berteriak sapai kering
Jatung hutan berhenti ditusuk ranting kering
Penyakit dating berakhir kematian
Bukan karena perang tapi langkanya air bersih
Kotori saja bumi kita biar puas senangkan diri
Habiskan sumber air kita
Buat cepat dunia binasah
Apa itu keinginan kita
Apa yang telah kita lakukan
Pada bumi kita
Sampai kapan
Aku butuh nafas untuk berhati bersih
Bumi rindu penyelamat air kehidupan
Apakah anda penyelamat air
Ayo berikan air pada anak cucu kita
