What about the vocal harmonies and that guitar solo. Punk-like before punk existed.

It is a pretty punk like guitar solo.

No. I think you got it backwards and are also confused. The closest I can think of a song like Taxman is Start! by The Jam, the song also borrows a bit from Doctor Robert as well. It is not a "Punk" song per se but more of a Mod-Revival song. I am not buying into your Taxman proto-Punk delusion.
The Jam - Start!

It's closer to a psych freak out, which you could say is akin to a punk freak out.

Just the form of the solo. Totally ignorning melody and just being brash.
Plus I'm old.

I'm very firm on the Ramones inventing punk but punk rock roots... I can kind of get it. Punk was back to basics. Taxman has an aggressive feel. I agree the guitar solo is abrasive.

Sgt. P is packed with great songs imo and includes some of the Beatles best psychedelic lyrics. It feels to me like easily their greatest album, peppered ( geddit?) with innovative detail. Even the way it's part-concept and part not works well. with a couple of songs that change the mood and give us a rest from all the psychedelically-enhanced Victoriana. Last time I played it, the weak songs (Fixing A Hole) actually served as a welcome drop in intensity from the more densely-worked ones (Mr.Kite). People have said how the different styles of Lennon and McCartney complemented each other and nowhere is that clearer than on A Day In The Life, with its "Woke up, got out of bed" interlude. Another Beatles' best on Sgt.Pepper is that for once Ringo's song was a neatly-integrated part of the whole effort, instead of being the novelty filler slot he was usually allocated (i.e. from Act Naturally to Octopus's Garden.)
