    The Daily Mail has reported that the Rolling Stones have teamed up with Monopoly, the world's best-selling board game to celebrate the game's 75th anniversary. That's rock 'n' roll.

    Traditional Monopoly street names have been replaced by the titles of the band's works, like Beggar's Banquet and Sticky Fingers. Houses and hotels have been replaced by gold and platinum records, while the traditional Community Chest cards will feature guitar licks and lyrics.

    In addition, the four railway stations on the Monopoly board have been renamed after some of the band's major world tours. The Stones version exchanges standard Monopoly money with used concert tickets. The player pieces are wild horses, drum kits, devil horns and the Stones' famous tongue and lips logo, instead of the typical dog, top hat, etc.

    What other bands would you like to see have their own edition of Monopoly?
