Simon and Garfunkle

PunkerViolence · 05.21.2006, 10:09 AM

I really like some of these songs. My girlfriend burnt me a cd with a bunch of well known songs. My favorite is probably El Condor Pasa(if i could), I Am A Rock, The 7 O'clock News - Silent night. Its funny, cos I used to absoloutly hate these guys, when i listened to metal, but now ive made out to them various times a night, im really having fond memories hehe

garfunkel

but yeah i like em.

DemonBox · 05.21.2006, 12:54 PM

yeah, they're good. Bridge Over Troubled Water is great. But check out Paul Simon's solo stuff, Paul Simon - Rhythm Of the saints, that album is fucking amazing!

dietzer123 · 05.21.2006, 01:20 PM

10 am morning something or something yadda yadda yadda album is really good. the one with sounds of silence

Neongod · 05.21.2006, 03:31 PM

Love em. The Boxer, Only Living Boy in NY, and of course The Sound of Silence (duh). Good shit.

noisemachine · 05.21.2006, 03:55 PM

I haven't heard too much of them. I know Paul Simon's solo stuff more. I bought my mom a 2-disc compilation of S&G for her bday or something several years ago and listened to it a bit. It was before I was really into acoustic guitar-based music but now I love it so maybe I should give them another try.

Daycare Nation · 05.21.2006, 04:58 PM

The Only Living Boy in New York = good song

Pax Americana · 05.22.2006, 12:50 AM

I adore Simon & Garfunkel. My dad used to play their records around the house all the time when I was a kid, so I've kinda grown up loving them.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 05.22.2006, 10:24 AM

I don't really like Paul Simon's solo stuff. Simon is a good writer, but Art Garfunkle adds so much to the music with his harmonization and stuff.

The Graduate is one of my all time favorite films.

nomadicfollower · 05.22.2006, 10:39 AM

There is a song I've heard by them which I'm not embarrased to say I really liked. Too bad I can't remember the name of it...

Maybe the fact that Art got busted for possession of weed a couple of times plays a role in this.

BTW I guess I agree with your comment, even though the only Paul Simon record i've listened to was Graceland, with all the african influence.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 05.22.2006, 11:12 AM

Nah, I think they both smoked pot. Garfunkle was just a better singer.

Rob Instigator · 05.22.2006, 12:31 PM

My mom used to listen to S&G all the time. I grew to love their songs. They are beautiful well written songs. and in their own folky way, they do rock.

Inhuman · 05.22.2006, 12:32 PM

I've liked them since I was 14

EMMAh · 05.22.2006, 12:58 PM

I love the song America

dietzer123 · 05.22.2006, 09:50 PM

didn't simon do like 99 percent of the writing though?

Yeah. I just think that Garfunkel's vocals lended really well to Simon's songs, and Paul Simon was not as good afterwards.

Man, Paul Simon was awsome afterwards.. Have you heard The Rhythm Of The Saints. It's a really good album.
