The music magazine Rolling Stone has produced for the first time a list of 100 best songs of the Beatles and the 1967 theme "A Day in the Life", composed by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, is number one. In second place is the 1963 song "I Want to Hold Your Hand", followed by "Strawberry Fields Forever", he remembered Lennon's nostalgia for his childhood in the British port of Liverpool.

The list was published as part of a special edition for collectors entitled "The Beatles: 100 Greatest Songs" which coincided with the anniversary of the 40th anniversary of the departure of the band's latest album, "Let It Be".

"Lennon, McCartney and Harrison had incredibly high standards as songwriters", said the musician Elvis Costello in the introduction to the list of Rolling Stone. "Then they began to grow in truth: simple melodies adult love stories (...) and ideas larger than one would expect to find in verses catchy pop music", he added.

"Yesterday", the theme that McCartney made in 1965 and that during its composition was the title of "Scrambled Eggs", ranked fourth, while "In My Life", which is included on the album RubberSoul, placed fifth.

"Something", "Hey Jude", "Let it Be", "Come Together" and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" complete the top ten list.
