The Rolling Stones Song of the Day is- My Obsession. My Obsession is the second song on Between The Buttons- and is written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. The highlight of this song for me has always been Charlie Watts drumming and Ian Stewart’s piano. The song is about- a girl and the singers obsession with her. A great sounding song. Brian Jones did not appear on this recording. During the recording sessions in Los Angeles Beach Boy Brian Wilson first met The Stones- and was very impressed by this song. One of my favorite songs on this great Rolling Stones album.
There’s a lot going on in this song, it’s more sophisticated than many others of theirs.
Between the buttons has a string of great tracks. For me this was when the stones starting developing their unique qualities
While I like Aftermath- I think Between The Buttons is their first great album.
100% agree. Aftermath sounds a bit like a cover album
This is where they were coming out with great pop songs like Ruby Tuesday and leaving the blues behind a little. It is a great album. I like the American version also…
