Simon & Garfunkel appreciation thread
Mike's Beard:
My favourite song by them is Cecilia esp the opening where people are just tapping random beats on different objects.

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:

His brother and him look exactly the same.

I like S&G best starting around the time of BOOKENDS. Simon's writing improved immensely when he got over his delusions of grandeur, a quality that marred (slightly) their earlier work.
Special faves: "The Only Living Boy in New York" and "My Little Town", which has always made me wonder how great a seventies studio LP may have been.
