Simon & Garfunkel appreciation thread
SMiLE-addict:
Along with the Beatles and the BB, Simon and Garfunkel are my favorite groups. Personally I think Paul Simon was a better songwriter than even Brian Wilson.
Anji was actually a David Graham piece.
BTW, acoustic guitar players will appreciate this rendition of Scarborough Fair:

As for their albums, I like all of them. However, I'm one of the few people I know who actually like their first album the best. It's the most "folk-y." This is one of the most outright, fantastically, indescribably beautiful songs ever written. Almost impossible for me to listen to it without shedding multiple tears:

You should check out "Fakin' It". You like The Beatles in 1967? You'd probably like this.

In the same style is this less-well-known song from the same year. Was released as a single but never made it on an album.
You Don't Know Where Your Interest Lies
The bridge or interlude part seems to be a prelude to his solo stuff in the 70's.
The following is a beautiful rendition of a Haitian folk song. Didn't make it onto Bridge Over Troubled Water, Cecilia having beaten it out for the album's "ethnic" song:
Feuilles-o
Whenever I listen to this song I always end up listening to it about 5 times in a row.
And speaking of Cecilia, really interesting story on the meaning of that song, if anyone's interested. It's not what you think the song is about.
