*Review* (Single) (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction / The Under Assistant West Coast Promotion Man

*This is part of my ongoing, personal project of listening to every Rolling Stones material released, posted onto this blog for everyone to read and for opinions to flourish. The rating doesn't mean much, because I hate ratings, but might as well.*

(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction / The Under Assistant West Coast Promotion Man

(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction

(Jagger / Richards)
I’m not going to pretend I’ve never heard this song before. Also, I guess this marks the era of Stones that get major radio play. But the song has a nice drum part and guitar and vocals that aren’t too demanding, but fun. I’m also going to disregard the fact this song is overplayed.
10/10

The Under Assistant West Coast Promotion Man

(Nanker Phelge)
Interesting little piece with harmonica, giving it a blues feel while keeping a fast tempo. Understandably buried underneath the success of Satisfaction, this doesn’t bring too much to the table but is a good song never less.  
8.5/10

18.5 / 20


So fantastic single. It’s really hard to review a song that’s had its guts dissected and reviewed countless times. So I’ll just say that the a-side is fantastic, and the b-side is fantastic for a b-side.
