Jones's musicianship, especially in the early days of the Rolling Stones, added much to the singles that propelled the band into the pop charts; it was his fashion sense and his hairstyle, which appealed to both men and women, that were copied by bands on both sides of the Atlantic.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Aswad |first=Jem |date=19 June 2020 |title='Life and Death of Brian Jones' Documentary Digs Deep Into the Rolling Stones Co-Founder's Demise |url=https://variety.com/2020/music/news/rolling-stones-life-death-of-brian-jones-documentary-1234643158/ |access-date=26 July 2022 |website=Variety |language=en-US}}</ref>

Pallenberg has stated in an interview that Jones wanted to look like [[Françoise Hardy]], loved "dressing up and posing about" and that he would ask her to do his hair and make-up.<ref name = "AnitaP">{{cite news |first= Anita|last= Pallenberg |title= Interview |page=9 |date= 16 October 2010|work=The Times |location=UK}}</ref> [[Bo Diddley]] described Jones as "a little dude that was trying to pull the group ahead. I saw him as the leader. He didn't take no mess. He was a fantastic cat; he handled the group beautifully."{{sfn|Wyman|Coleman|1997|p=156}}

Jones's death at 27 was the first of the 1960s rock phenomenon of music artists dying at 27. His death was followed within two years by the drug-related deaths of [[Jimi Hendrix]], [[Jim Morrison]], [[Alan Wilson (musician)|Alan Wilson]], and [[Janis Joplin]], all of the same age. The coincidence of their deaths at the same age has been referred to in popular culture as the "[[27 Club]]".<ref>{{cite magazine | url=https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-lists/the-27-club-a-brief-history-17853/robert-johnson-26971/ | title=The 27 Club: A Brief History | magazine=[[Rolling Stone]] | date=8 December 2019 }}</ref>

When Alastair Johns, who owned Cotchford Farm for over 40 years after Jones's death, refurbished the pool, he sold the original tiles to Jones's fans for £100 each. The sales of the tiles paid for half of the work.<ref name="teleg2012"/>

The [[Psychic TV]] song "[[Godstar (song)|Godstar]]" is about Jones's death, as are [[Robyn Hitchcock]]'s "Trash", [[the Drovers]]' "She's as Pretty as Brian Jones Was", [[Jeff Dahl]]'s "Mick and Keith killed Brian", [[Ted Nugent]]'s "Death by Misadventure", and [[Salmonblaster]]'s "Brian Jones". [[Toy Love]]'s song "Swimming Pool" lists several dead rock icons, including Jones (the others are Morrison, Hendrix, and [[Marc Bolan]]), just as [[A House]]'s "[[Endless Art]]" does; Jones is also mentioned in [[De Phazz]]'s song "Something Special". The Master Musicians of Joujouka song "Brian Jones Joujouka Very Stoned" was released in 1974 and 1996.<ref>"Return to Joujouka, BBC Radio 4, 29 August 2000, Master Musicians of Joujouka, "Joujouka Black Eyes, Le Coeur Du Monde 1995</ref> The band [[Tigers Jaw]] heavily references Jones and his death in their song "I Saw Water", and pop punk band [[Groovie Ghoulies]] released the song "Planet Brian Jones" on a 7" vinyl EP of the same name in 1997. [[Alvin Youngblood Hart]]'s song "Watchin' Brian Jones" appeared on his 2014 single release ''Helluva Way (For A Man To Make a Livin')''. English group [[Ultimate Painting]] recorded "Song For Brian Jones" for their 2016 album ''Dusk''.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oopzYgvydg Ultimate Painting "Song For Brian Jones" (Official Video)] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170625153916/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oopzYgvydg |date=25 June 2017 }}.

Many of Jones's contemporaries admit to idolising him as young musicians, including [[Noel Redding]], who, according to [[Pamela Des Barres]]'s book ''I'm With the Band'', contemplated suicide after hearing about his death. [[The Brian Jonestown Massacre]], an American [[psychedelic rock]] band, takes its name partly from Jones and is heavily influenced by his work.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Arneson |first=Sven |date=10 July 2023 |title=The Brian Jonestown Massacre Announces Concerts at The ELM and The Top Hat |url=https://logjampresents.com/2023/07/10/the-brian-jonestown-massacre-announces-concerts-at-the-elm-and-the-top-hat/ |access-date=29 May 2024 |website=Logjam Presents |language=en-US}}</ref>

The 2005 film ''[[Stoned (film)|Stoned]]'' is a fictionalised account of Jones's death and his role in the Rolling Stones, partly based on [[Geoffrey Giuliano]]'s book ''Paint It Black: The Murder of Brian Jones'' (1994). The part of Brian was played by English actor [[Leo Gregory]].{{citation needed |date=April 2024}}

A fictionalised version of Jones and the tribute concert to him appears in [[Alan Moore]] and [[Kevin O'Neill (comics)|Kevin O'Neill]]'s ''[[The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Volume III: Century]]'' in its second issue, "Paint it Black". The world of ''[[The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen]]'' is an alternate universe version of Earth where several works of fiction are real with the fictional characters frequently [[Crossover (fiction)|interacting with each other]], with these characters occasionally serving as analogues of historical figures. Jones's fictional stand-in is [[Basil Fotherington-Tomas]] from the ''[[Nigel Molesworth]]'' books (who is now an adult, having grown up since the events in those books, and changed his name to "Basil Thomas") and his band is called "The Purple Orchestra".{{citation needed |date=April 2024}}{{excessive detail inline |date=April 2024}}

Jones's musicianship and contribution to the band are featured heavily in the documentary ''[[Crossfire Hurricane (film)|Crossfire Hurricane]]''. Another documentary, ''Rolling Stone: Life and Death of Brian Jones'', directed by Danny Garcia and distributed by Dudeski and Chip Baker Films, was released in 2020.{{citation needed |date=January 2024}}
