The Rolling Stones

A pivotal 1966 release where blues-rock meets Eastern mysticism. Driven by Brian Jones' sitar and a frantic, military drum beat, it remains a peak of dark psychedelia.

Moments Worth Listening For
The hypnotic opening sitar line that immediately establishes a sense of dread and exoticism.
Charlie Watts' driving, military-style drum fills that propel the chorus into a frantic gallop.
The haunting, wordless vocal moans that close out the title track over a fading rhythm.
