Rolling Stone Readers Pick Hey Jude as McCartney's Greatest Song

To celebrate Paul McCartney's 67th birthday, Rolling Stone asked its readers to pick their favorite song written by the former Beatle.

A number of interesting things came out of the list. First off, even though the list was meant to celebrate the anniversary of his birth, Birthday didn't make the top 15. Yesterday, which is the most recorded song in music history, came in only tenth. The breakdown on the tracks was nine from the Beatles and six from McCartney's solo career.

The Rolling Stone reader's picks:

• Hey Jude
• Penny Lane
• Maybe I’m Amazed
• Helter Skelter
• Oh! Darling
• Live and Let Die
• Eleanor Rigby
• I Will
• Jet
• Yesterday
• Let It Be
• Let Me Roll It
• Band on the Run
