By 1965, the UK establishment knew a cultural youthquake had struck the nation. Beatlemania had conquered America and flashed an irreverence to authority and the class system unseen in popular music, the contraceptive pill had heralded a new dawn in sexual liberation, LSD<\/a>\u2018s legal availability influenced the eye-popping fashionable takeover of London\u2019s Carnaby Street, and the simple act of men outgrowing the hair became an act of defiance against the stuffy old order that represented the country\u2019s post-war austerity.<\/p>\n Yet, it took The Rolling Stones\u2019 mammoth hit and first US Billboard Hot 100 number one to attack the status quo with such subversive excoriation. Released in June as a stand-alone single\u2014and included on the American version of Out of Our Heads\u2014\u2018(I Can\u2019t Get No) Satisfaction\u2019 threw a grenade into a pop arena that had pushed the boundaries of hedonism and individual expression, but hadn\u2019t quite savaged the commercial demands of the corporate world with such upending threat.<\/p>\n Aiming for the advertising world as much as flicking a sexually provocative lyrical Vs at the era\u2019s buttoned-up elders, The Rolling Stones challenged the imposed insecurities on a population eager to keep them consuming.<\/p>\n
