Ok, some British song I probably should know better than I do. (Scratch "Aerosmith" since they're not British.) On the other extreme, I don't think it fits Pink Floyd. Somebody prolific. Possibly The Who.
"Ruby Tuesday" from Between The Buttons, which, in my opinion, may be one of the Stones finest albums. (I lost interest in the band after the passing of Brian Jones.)

On second thought, not too far off. It's just not a Beatles song. I think you guys may kick yourselves though if you don't get this.
Definitely a famous tune, though I think the only words I know are the chorus.
After seeing those lyrics and reading the title of it (maybe that's not the title mentioned in waysider's post, but it's close) I can probably figure out who the group was, but it's going to take me a little time.
Right now, though, I can't place the group. I think I can get it, if time doesn't run out. Good boogie song, good beat. Not ~Paul Revere~, not ~The Grass Roots~, maybe ~The Yardbirds~?
"Smiling in the bright lights, coming through in stereo When everybody loves you, you can never be lonely Well, I will paint my picture Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray
All of the beautiful colors are very, very meaningful"
"Smiling in the bright lights, coming through in stereo When everybody loves you, you can never be lonely Well, I will paint my picture Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray
All of the beautiful colors are very, very meaningful Yeah well, you know, gray is my favorite color I felt so symbolic yesterday, if I knew Picasso I would buy myself a gray guitar and play"
I'll probably never remember the correct name. It's funny, but non-consecutive lines were what I remembered- the line about gray reminded me of the stereo line, then I remembered more about the line naming the colors. Well, the mind's a fascinating thing, at least it is for me.

It was played on album oriented stations so that counts. I remember it I just can't think of the song right now

Don't know the title but then I never did like the stones to much. unless it was covered by Flying Burrito brothers also which would make it dead flowers but I think that's another song.

Once beneath the stars, the universe was ours. Love was all we knew, and all I knew was you. I wonder where you are, I wonder if you think about me Once upon a time, IN YOUR WILDEST DREAMS. It mig

Yes they are British, but No Pink Floyd, No The Who.
Let me add this, if this were a Beatles song it would be as recognizable as "Love Me Do" or "A Day in the Life" or even "Maxwell's Silver Hammer".

Sorry for the delay. Let's pick it up again with:
"Smiling in the bright lights, coming through in stereo
When everybody loves you, you can never be lonely
Well, I will paint my picture
Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray
All of the beautiful colors are very, very meaningful"

That line naming the colors sounds vaguely familiar, but I'm not coming up with anything right now.
