Paul McCartney has named three Rolling Stones songs he considers their greatest, offering a rare glimpse into his admiration for the Beatles’ long-standing rivals and contemporaries. The selection matters chiefly as a reflection of the musical respect between two defining British bands of the 1960s.

The supplied article text does not include McCartney’s three chosen songs or any supporting comments, so their titles and the reasons for his choices cannot be confirmed from the material provided. It presents the piece as a music feature rather than reporting a new event.
