The long instrumental drone at the end of I Want You/She's So Heavy is rescued by Paul going absolutely nuts on the bass. His playing on Something is essential to the recording. And I can't pick up a bass without playing Lady Madonna or Taxman or both.

In the context of his time, Paul was really instrumental (groan) in freeing up bass playing in rock and roll music.
