Between Bridge Over Troubled Water and The Boxer for me.
Paul Simon solo I'd have to go with 50 ways and Still Crazy After All These years.
Love Graceland too.

I really don't like the way paul simon 'speaks' his songs nowerdays - he sounds too much like Tracy Chapman!

mrs. robinson was the first song i ever wanted to "own". not sure why, but i was about 9 when it came out, never heard of the "graduate" or any affiliation....just had to have that song! the reference to joltin joe still gives me tingles everytime i hear it, it's so american nostalgic....one of my favorite tunes of all time

I love a lot of Simon and Garfunkel songs. I Am A Rock is a great one. "If I never loved I never would have cried."

Homeward Bound, Mrs Robinson, America, Bridge Over Troubled Water...

I'm a bit surprised colleen was the only one to mention I Am a Rock. Great tuneand very fun to sing along.

America. The arrangement is a bit sloppy, but the melodies are incredible.

Ultimate Simon & Garfunkel moment:

"The Sound Of Silence" live at Central Park, when the line "And in the naked light I saw 10,000 people, maybe more" comes up.

Jesus Christ... If you can watch or listen to that without goosebumps, you've got no heart.

I like all the group and Simon solo songs mentioned, although surprisingly no one has listed "The Sound of Silence" yet. Other, slightly more osbsure excellent ones form the brilliant pen of Paul Simon (who IMHO has the higheset "batting average" ever of any pop writer. along with Tom Petty) are "Hazy Shade of Winter," "Fakin' It," "You Don't Know Where Your Interest Lies" (which was unavailable for 30 years), "The Only Living Boy In New York,' "Mother and Child Reunion," "Duncan," "Me and Julio," "Was A Sunny Day," "Late In The Evening" and many more. Also exqusite is Art's hit remake of "I Only Have Eyes For You."

Is everyone aware of the incident during the first Central Park concert when a deranged fan jumped on stage during "The Late Great Johnny Ace' (with its Lennon assassination reference)? And that Paul's "Thanksgiving turkey" appearance on SNL occurred on the same 1976 show when he duetted with George on "Here Comes The Sun" and "Homeward bound," along with several others that weren't broadcast? Unfortunately, this ultra-classic performance has not seemed to appear on any video retrospective since the early 1980's.

(BTW, the lowest "batting averages" of writers with any talent are from Neil Young and Ray Davies, who have both pumped out 10 - 20 more material than they should have, artistically speaking.)

Bridge over troubled water
Sounds Of Silence

Allergies is probably my favorite Paul Simon solo song ever. Great guitar solo.

RICKENBACKER325 · « **Reply #35 on:** August 05, 2005, 12:38:26 PM »

Probably "The Boxer", "Sounds Of Silence" and "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" There are too many to choose from.

Joost · « **Reply #36 on:** August 06, 2005, 08:48:05 AM »

I don't like the 'hit' version of Sound Of Silence. Especially the electric guitar sounds very ugly. I definately prefer the acoustic original.

I love Kathy's Song. Though Cecilia, America, and Homeward Bound are all fabulous too. As far as Paul solo goes, I LOVE almost everything from Rhythm of the Saints- especially The Coast, Spirit Voices, and The Cool, Cool River- as it is more subtle than his other stuff, Late in the Evening, Hearts and Bones, Thelma, and Hurricane Eye are all amazing.

Sound of Silence!!! My all time favourite. (I like "El condor pasa" too!)

The Sound of Silence, definately. <3
