Well yeah but, to be fair, I was thinking more of McCartney's work with The Beatles than with Wings. Not wishing to undermine the magnificence of a song like 'Jet', it was hardly any kind of union between pop and the avant-garde. But yes, I do think Can were a more successful hybrid than The Beatles - and that even within the Beatles itself, John was probably the more successful at fusing the two currents than Paul was.
