10 Classic Albums With Glaring Errors

For most Rolling Stones fans, the late ‘60s is where things started to get absolutely incredible. Though the band’s start was a much rougher take on the classic British Invasion sound, their run of albums from the end of the decade to the mid ‘70s is looked at as untouchable.

Most signs point to Beggars Banquet as the beginning of the classic period, but the band were under siege behind the scenes.

Coming off of the experiment with psychedelia on Their Satanic Majesties Request, band leader Brian Jones was in horrible shape. With Mick Jagger and Keith Richards quickly taking the reins away from him, Jones was left as a shadow of his former self, often relegated to the occasional lead on an album cut. Easing the pain with drugs and booze, Jones was known to hang around the studio looking decrepit until he was occasionally asked to throw on slide guitar.

Though Jones could play dozens of different instruments, the idea of him being stifled only left him to sink into himself more, which led to the Stones firing him shortly after the album’s completion.

The depression and self-destruction behavior eventually got the better of Jones when he was found in his swimming pool unresponsive just a few months later. Beggars Banquet marks a big change around the corner, but it did cost the Greatest Rock Band in the World one of their biggest strengths.
