"(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction" was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and produced by Andrew Loog Oldham. Richards’ three-note guitar riff was intended
to be replaced by horns. The song is considered by most critics to be one of the
all-time greatest rock songs ever recorded. In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine
placed "Satisfaction" in the second spot on its list of "The 500 Greatest Songs
of All
Time", while in 2006 it was added to the Library of Congress National
Recording
Registry.
