Has there ever been a more pleasant song? Just makes you feel like your blissfully floating away. I knew a woman who chose this as her wedding song (Brilliant!) but inexplicably chose to use Annie Lennox’s bland version (What the Hell?!!?).

The Rolling Stones:

I’ve always loved this song. Such attitude and verve! It really epitomizes The Stones and how they’ve tried to represent themselves. Highly under-appreciated in my opinion.
