The Rolling Stones -- Between The Buttons

  Totally bizarre Between The Buttons showcases Brian Jones's multi-talented musicianship more than any other Stones record.  None of the songs are in the traditional Rolling Stones format.  It's hard to pin point what kind of music this is suppose to be, it's so damn all over the place, maybe a pastiche of 60's punk and baroque psychedelia, you'd have to look Between The Buttons to figure it out ... but at the same time this album is a great example how far rock 'n' roll can go, and only a handful of 60's artist could pull off this level of brilliance.
