The Beatles' "A Day In The Life," from 1967's Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, has topped a Rolling Stone magazine reader's poll of the top Beatles songs of all time.

Rubber Soul's "In My Life" came in second place, while the George Harrison-penned "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," from the band's 1968 self-titled release that's better known as the White Album, rounds out the top three. "Hey Jude" and "Helter Skelter" came in at fourth and fifth.
