‘(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction — The Rolling Stones

The Rolling Stones ranked “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” as the second greatest song of all time. Despite the fact that it was first restricted to pirate radio stations across the pond owing to its suggestive content, this music helped the band achieve their first No. 1 in the United States. Despite this, it went on to become the world’s most popular song. Keith Richards dreamed up the song’s riff. He was sleeping in a motel in Clearwater, Florida, during the band’s third U.S. tour. “He awoke and grabbed a guitar and a cassette player.” Richards played the series of notes once before falling asleep. “On the tape,” he subsequently explained, “you can hear me drop the pick, and the rest is snoring.”

‘Hey Jude’ — The Beatles

The finest song ever, according to thousands of voters on Ranker, is none other than the Beatles’ “Hey Jude.” Instead, it was named No. 8 by Rolling Stone. This was the band’s first single to be released through Apple. It ranked first in numerous nations throughout the world. In 1968, it was the best-selling single in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia. It conveys a strong and personal statement. Paul McCartney apparently wrote it while visiting John Lennon’s ex-wife Cynthia and their kid Julian. He explained that the first sentence was intended to be “a hopeful message for Julian: ‘Come on, man, your parents divorced.'” I know you’re upset, but you’ll be fine.'” In the end, he changed “Jules” to “Jude.”
