fair dos, opinions and all that. what do you make of his version of 'in my life'. i think that's easily the worst track on the album.
I like 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' and 'The Boxer' but apart from that I'm not into the Bridge... album. It sounds like a duo past their best and running out of ideas. Besides, 'Cecilia' is on it, and that's the one song of theirs that is truly unlistenable.
I prefer their earlier stuff. Sounds of Silence is a lovely album.

aw, keep the customer satisfied is a great song. and i really like the tenderness of 'the only living boy in new york'. especially when you know the back story.
but, yes, generally it's not their best record. and 'sounds of silence' is definitely the one. 'somewhere they can't find me', 'we've got a groovy thing goin'...great cover too.

Ooh, it must be, unless you have some priceless faulty pressing.
Tis a fantastic song though.
A letter in Viz recently said that if you cover Paul Simon's face up to his eyebrows from below with a finger it looks like Garfunkel has a huge Mexican style moustace

I've just had a look, and it is on there - which shows how long it is since I've listened to that record!
The Only Living Boy... is on a compilation I've got, though - and yes, it s a beautiful song.

my musical tastes range from Fairground Convention through Radiohead, via The pogues, turning right at metallica, megadeath, Maiden, Saxon and Judas Priest, dips down to Deep Purple back up to Flloyd, Jethro Tull and The Levellers and then on to S&G
oh and I also like ambienst stuff (the more hippyish stuff like Astralasia, and William Orbit)
An not forgetting some of the classical stuff I listen to too...
But if I wnat some nice mellow, middle of the road, not going to offend anyone music I put S&G on. MAkes me relax

When I was little it was one of those albums my mum had, with all the lyrics on the back (Dark side of the Moon was another I remember) and I just loved singing along.
I find I still know the words to all the songs today, and it's wierd 'cos only the other day I was thinking about buying the CD.

I’m not a fan. They’re do twee, preppy, Ivy League music that doesn’t interest me.

So many particulars. So many questions.
Lemonheads version is pretty good as well. Its better than 'its a shame about Ray' anyway.
