The song I heard is called Heaven by The Stones.
I tracked down the album and wasn't surprised to recognize it right away. Tattoo You.
When this album came out I was already into music - I was 6. The first song I ever picked out as a favourite for myself - Another One Bites the Dust by Queen. I had the 45. On the flip side - Electric Avenue by Eddy Grant. Oh. Yeah.Man, does Tattoo You DELIVER! Even now - I think the music is amazing, so catchy, such great songs. It's the Stones - what are you gonna do?!* Of course it's good.
For a week after listening to the album I would wake up in the middle of the night - toes tapping to the songs! I couldn't get any sleep! Now if this isn't a sign of good music, I don't know what is.
* Woah. I better lay off the Bitchin' Kitchen.

The Stones are always good for some solid music. I haven't heard ANY of their new stuff, but their old stuff is priceless. I used to listen to a lot of their albums with my mom when I was young, too. My mom (still) (embarrassingly) has a gigantic crush on Mick Jagger. I don't get it.
One thing I am infamous for, is not listening to very little music that is pre-1990. For some reason, I just can't get exited about anything that came before then. I'll READ about music that came before then, and I understand in my brain that it's good, but I'll never actually put it one when I feel like listening to music (which is always).
However, I will try to listen to some stuff from this album 'cuz you like it a lot. :) I always say that I should start listening to older stuff to be more well-rounded but I never get around to it.
