Abbey Road is pretty damn close to perfect if you cut Maxwell's Silver Hammer.

That album was otherwise Paul's high water mark for his entire career -- the medley on side two, Oh! Darling, and his stupendous basswork on the first two songs. But then there's Maxwell's fucking Hammer sitting in the middle of side one like a big steaming turd.

I feel that way about Octopus’ Garden, and will sometimes skip it along with Maxwell’s Stupid Hammer.

Now Octopus is Ringo and I love him so I can forgive him for it because it’s cute like he is.

But I can NEVER forgive Paul for Maxwell!
