Music is incredibly subjective. What sounds fantastic to one person might not resonate with someone else. The Rolling Stones are no exception. The band saw several albums reach No. 1 on the charts, but some listeners favor the more obscure. Like Frank Zappa, who once said he felt the Stones’ Between the Buttons was better than The Beatles Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.
Frank Zappa liked The Rolling Stones’ album ‘Between the Buttons’ better than ‘Sgt. Pepper’
Zappa was never one for floating in the mainstream. Whether it was his music, opinions, or the names of his children (especially Moon Unit and Dweezil), the individualistic guitarist marched to the beat of his own drum.
So it shouldn’t be surprising that Zappa once said he preferred The Rolling Stones’ 1967 album Between the Buttons to The Beatles’ magnum opus, Sgt. Pepper, from later that year. His opinion probably shocked Mick Jagger,...

The Rolling Stones remain one of the most legendary classic rock bands. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood keep going long after fellow 1960s bands such as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and Pink Floyd called it a day. They made several No. 1 hits, but four Rolling Stones albums peaked at No. 2 in the United States.

Before covering the Stones’ albums that peaked at No. 2, we need to acknowledge their slew of hit records. They sent nine albums to the top of the Billboard 200 albums chart in their career.
It’s more than just an impressive number. The Rolling Stones had chart-topping albums across three decades. Sixteen years separated their first Billboard No. 1 (1965’s Out of Our Heads) with their most recent (1981’s Tattoo You).

Crystal Harris, who has already changed her Twitter name to Crystal Hefner, is showing off the engagement bling fiance Hugh Hefner put on her finger. The one-time Playmate of the Month tweeted a collage of photos of the ring for her half a million followers.
Meanwhile, Hef shared with his Twitter followers that Crystal is a huge Disney fan, and her favorite character is Ariel from "The Little Mermaid."
Hefner tweets, "A romantic coincidence: The headboard of the bed where Crystal & I sleep features a pair of beautifully carved mermaids." How romantic, indeed. Surely grown up women everywhere are swooning.
This is Hefner and Harris' second engagement. The first engagement ended when Crystal dumped Hugh the night before their planned nuptials, then proceeded to publicly slam his bedroom skills.
Harris, who bills herself as a "businesswoman, singer, DJ, and the Playmate of Hef's manor," is opening a lingerie shop called...

Nicki Minaj is in the zone. After extensive talks, E! News has learned the Pink Friday singer will be livening up Britney Spears' upcoming summer tour, replacing Enrique Iglesias as the opening act after the latter bowed out unexpectedly last month. Now you get two Femmes Fatales for the price of one. A source close to the 26-year-old Minaj confirmed to E! that she's aboard and tour organizers expect the tandem should make for a big concert draw, even more so than the Spanish crooner. Indeed, the choice of the Trinidad and Tobago-born hip-hop diva is probably for the best, given how foolish Iglesias' camp made Spears look by abruptly dropping out only hours after the pop princess...
