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.
