‘(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction — The Rolling Stones
The Rolling Stones’ song “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” was voted the second greatest song in history by Rolling Stones fans. Despite the fact that it was initially restricted to pirate radio stations across the pond due to its suggestive nature, this track assisted the band in reaching their first No. 1 in the United States. Despite this, it went on to become the world’s most popular song. In a dream, Keith Richards acquired the song’s riff. He was staying in a motel in Clearwater, Florida, while on the band’s third US tour. He awoke with a guitar and a tape player. After playing the series of notes, Richards went to sleep for a bit. “You can hear me drop the pick on the tape, and the rest is snoring,” he later told Rolling Stone.
‘Hey Jude’ — The Beatles
According to hundreds of voters on Ranker, the Beatles’ “Hey Jude” is the greatest song ever. Instead, it was named No. 8 by Rolling Stone. This was the band’s first single on the Apple Records label. It was the most popular in a number of countries around the world. In 1968, it was the best-selling single in America, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia. It conveys a strong and personal message. Paul McCartney is said to have written it while visiting John Lennon’s wife Cynthia and their kid Julian. The first statement was meant to be a “hopeful message for Julian: ‘Come on, man, your folks separated,'” he stated. I understand your distress, but you’ll be alright.’ He eventually changed his name from “Jules” to “Jude.”
