London
(ANI):
Sir
Mick
Jagger
insists
that
drugs
had
a
positive
impact
on
the
Rolling
Stones,
and
the
band
wrote
some
of
their
biggest
hits
while
under
the
influence.
The
legendary
group
was
notorious
for
their
drug
usage
in
1960s
and
70s
heyday
-
particularly
chief
songwriters
Jagger
and
Keith
Richards.
But
the
frontman
says
that
the
"party
atmosphere" was
inspiring,
particularly
for
their
iconic
1972
album
'Exile
on
Main
Street".
"That
was
a
period
of
time
when
everyone
took
loads
of
drugs,
it
was
very
fashionable,
but
I
mean,
we
did
a
lot
of
hard
work
as
well,
so
it
was
a
bit
of
a
party
atmosphere,
loads
of
visitors,
you
know,
there
was
a
lot
of
drugs
floating
around,
but
not
everyone
was
completely
out
of
it
all
the
time
and
we
did
a
lot
of
good
tracks,
you
know,"
The
Daily
Express
quoted
Jagger
as
telling
Absolute
Radio.
