On May 10th in music history, one significant event took place in 1965 when The Rolling Stones recorded their iconic song "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" at RCA Studios in Hollywood, California.

The song, written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, features one of the most recognizable guitar riffs in rock history, played by Richards. The story goes that Richards came up with the riff in his sleep, waking up in the middle of the night to record it on a cassette player before falling back asleep. He initially intended the riff to be played by horns, but the band decided to keep the raw, gritty sound of the electric guitar.

"(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" became a massive hit for The Rolling Stones, reaching the top of the charts in numerous countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom. The song's success helped establish the band as one of the greatest rock acts of all time and solidified their rebellious, counterculture image.

The lyrics, which touch on themes of sexual frustration and commercialism, were considered controversial at the time. The song faced censorship and radio bans in some markets due to its suggestive content. Despite these challenges, the raw energy and unapologetic attitude of the track resonated with audiences and continues to do so decades later.

"(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" has since been covered by numerous artists, featured in films and television shows, and is consistently ranked among the greatest songs in rock history. Its recording on May 10th, 1965, marked a pivotal moment in music history and the rise of one of the most influential bands of all time.
