I am a huge fan of Simon and Garfunkel, solo or together. Some of my favourite of there songs are Sounds of silence, Bridge over troubled water, Mrs. Robinson, the boxer, baby driver, etc. to many classics to mention. Being 15 however I can't find many other people my age who like them, never mind the amount in my school who don't know who they are!

So discuss anything you want to about S & G DS'ers!

I went to see them live a few years ago at the MEN and really enjoyed it. When they are not arguing they can really still sing very well.

Used to listen to them in the car as a child as my parents really liked them.

To many great songs to list but they sound as good as ever.

u have gd taste. I've got a compilation of their greatest hits and a Paul Simon compliation but I actually think Art has a better voice, got 3 of his solo albums so far(Watermark, Breakaway and Fate For Breakfast if anyone is interested lol). Think my best S and G song is their one-off comeback hit My Little Town

Yeah, I really like them, I love 'For Emily wherever I may find her' and Why don't you write me?, Kathy's Song is one of my favourites.

I haven't listened to them for while actually, I will have to let my son listen to them, it's about time he heard them.

Beautiful together...

oddly enough, i have never really given them the credit they deserve, often overlooking them for some reason, (possibly too young at the time).

indeed they were two of the greatest ever songwriters who produced some stunning music.

Paul Simon is up there with anyone that has written a song ever

I absolutely love their music, it's great stuff and I couldn't pick one favourite! I'd put them second to The Beatles in terms of my favourite artists.

I like them very much. 'America' is probably my favourite. Another slightly odd favourite is 'The Dangling Conversation', overly wordy but a pretty tune.

Love Simon & Garfunkel. I got the remastered albums for Christmas 2 years. I love Richard Cory, America, El Condor Pasa (If I Could) and loads of others. Paul Simon is certainly one of the best song writers of the last 50 years. It's a shame they argued so much, what could have been if they hadn't.

i heard the most awesome version of scarborough fair spontaneously performed by some girls that were part of a college acapella group at a picnic i went to in massachusetts. now every time i hear that song all i can think of is east coast US. beautiful song

Yes I do love them. The first LP I ever bought with my pocket money was Bridge Over Troubled Water.

So many achingly beautiful songs. America is one of my absolute favourites, the music and lyrics are perfect. I like For Emily, whenever I may find her and I am a Rock. Then I love Kathy's song and Song for the Asking.

Solo, I still adore Paul Simon's 50 ways to leave your lover because of the lyrics.

Thinking about this has made me realise I need to update my collection. Just been on you tube to have a quick listen - has brought back chilhood/adolescent memories and made me feel rather wistful.

Like the OP, I was a huge fan of Simon and Garfunkel during my last years in school despite most of my peers probably thinking they were a brand of sauce or something.

'America' is also one of my all-time favourites although I used to find it quite eerie when I was younger for some reason. My other favourites are definitely 'Leaves that are Green,' 'Poem on the Underground Wall' and of course 'The Only Living Boy in New York."

One of the things that draws me to Simon and Garfunkel's music is how it captures the seasons and 'Leaves that are Green' is an obvious example of this. I find it quite an uplifting song, although it does deal with loss, and I particularly enjoy some of the interesting chord choices. 'Poem on the Underground Wall' is one heck of a wordy poem but it is sheer brilliance (particularly that the poem written with a crayon on the underground wall turns out to be a "single worded poem comprised of four letters") and most of the live recordings feature some pretty nifty guitar work from Paul.

As regards "The Only Living Boy in New York," it is without a doubt one of the more sad songs from the duo and it always does the trick for me when I'm in a certain mood. Very simple lyrics granted but the song has also become increasingly poignant to me in recent years. The background vocals/ echo chamber parts definitely help make the song for me. Quality!
