Born in 1974 as despite being a kid in the 80's Generation X era, I have the heart and mind over in a baby boomer.

BTW not listed on there is Keith Richards 79 just like Mick Jagger who didn't even like this song at first. From the History: May 7, 1965.
In the early morning hours of May 7, 1965, a bleary-eyed Keith Richards awoke, grabbed a tape recorder and laid down one of the greatest pop hooks of all time: The opening riff of â(I Canât Get No) Satisfaction.â He then promptly fell back to sleep.
âWhen I woke up in the morning, the tape had run out,â Richards recalled many years later. âI put it back on, and thereâs this, maybe, 30 seconds of âSatisfaction,â in a very drowsy sort of rendition. And then it suddenlyâthe guitar goes âCLANG,â and then thereâs like 45 minutes of snoring.â It wasnât much to go on, but he played it for Mick Jagger later that same day. âHe only had the first bit, and then he had the riff,â Jagger recalls. âIt sounded like a country sort of thing on acoustic guitarâit didnât sound like rock. But he didnât really like it, he thought it was a joke⌠He really didnât think it was single material, and we all said âYouâre off your head.â Which he was, of course.â
With verses written by JaggerâRichards had already come up with the line âI canât get no satisfactionââthe Stones took the song into the Chess studios in Chicago just three days later, on May 10, 1965, and completed it on May 12 after a flight to Los Angeles and an 18-hour recording session at RCA. It was there that Richards hooked up an early Gibson version of a fuzz box to his guitar and gave a riff heâd initially envisioned being played by horns its distinctive, iconic sound
Though the Stones at the time were already midway through their third U.S. tour, their only bona fide American hits to date were âTime Is On My Sideâ and the recently released âThe Last Time.â âSatisfactionâ was the song that would catapult them to superstar status. Forty years later, when Rolling Stone magazine ranked âSatisfactionâ #2 on its list of the â500 Greatest Songs of All Time,â it put the following historical perspective on the riff Keith Richards discovered on this day in 1965: âThat spark in the nightâŚwas the crossroads: the point at which the rickety jump and puppy love of early rock and roll became rock.â
