As if four decades of commercial success weren't enough, the Rolling Stones continue to put butts in seats and sell albums. With a new retrospective disc, ''Forty Licks,'' holding its own in the top five after three weeks, and a tour, Licks, that sells out faster than you can say ''Their Satanic Majesties Request,'' there's no better time to look back at the rockers who still keep audiences under their thumb.
Here's a collection of favorite Stones shots on and off stage, as seen in three recent photo books: ''Rolling Stones 40x20'' (Billboard Books, 2002), ''Rolling With the Stones'' (DK Publishing, 2002), and ''The Stones 65-67'' (Vision On, 2002).
