"(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.
“Jumpin’ Jack Flash” is one of the group’s most popular and recognizable songs

Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner and Johnny Winter.
In March 2005, Q magazine placed "Jumpin’ Jack Flash" at number 2 in its list of
the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks. In 2004, Rolling Stone rated the song 124th on
its list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. VH1 placed it at 65 on its show 100 Greatest Rock Songs.
