Bridges to Babylon' found the Stones grappling with a changing musical landscape, incorporating programmed drums and guest spots from alt-rock figures and rappers. It was a bid to stay relevant that alienated some, but still yielded solid rock material.

The Rolling Stones are an English rock band formed in London in 1962. They are one of the most enduring and successful rock bands in history, known for their blues-influenced sound and electrifying live performances. In 1997, the band was on their "Bridges to Babylon Tour," a massive global undertaking that supported this album and would become one of the highest-grossing concert tours of all time.
