...Stones prove that even after recording together for 31 years, they can still produce exciting work. Five years have passed since Steel Wheels, an album that, for all its virtues, seemed more manufactured than genuinely inspired. In the interim, Jagger and Keith Richards concentrated on solo work, and bassist Bill Wyman quit, to be replaced by Darryl Jones. Jones is 32, but the average age of his new bandmates is, well, practically geriatric. Before the new album was released, it was reasonable to wonder how much desire and energy the Stones had left...

...members of Green Day -- Billie Joe, bassist Mike Dirnt and drummer Tre Cool -- are in their early 20s.

It was Waters who in the early 1970s masterminded the band's transformation from an acid-rock act into a sleek, shadowy outfit that used high-tech wizardry and mordant humor to skewer greedy capitalists, warmongering generals and -- most evil of all -- nasty headmasters. With Waters as its leader, Pink Floyd became famous for its surrealistic, multimedia concerts, culminating with the tour...
