Simon & Garfunkel

[IndianaJones87]

Do you listen to the old songs on Simon & Garfunkel
I do my favorite is "The Boxer"

[RichieB16]

Simon & Garfunkel is one of my favorite groups, my favorite one of their songs is also "The Boxer" followed closley by "The Sound of Silence" and "Scarborough Fair."

[Politically Incorrect]

Yes some great songwriting talent there!! I grew up with it, my dad would play it on the outside speakers all summer long so when I hear a S&G song it reminds me of summers past , cruising in his '68 GTO and good times.

Same here, my Mum and Dad played thier records at all the parties they threw. Great stuff.

[SideWinder9]

I like "Mrs. Robinison"

[Nexus]

Ahh, yes, they are great!
I love "Dust in the wind", mainly because Will Ferrell does a hilarious cover on it in the motion picture "Old School", during the funeral of the old man "Blue", who died of pure excitement some 80 years old when he mud wrestled two naked girls in their 20's  :-*

"Don't beat yourself up over this, Mitch. It's not your fault. Dammit, Blue was old. That's what old people do. They die"
 ;D  ;D

coo-coo-ca-chooo.....

[Dr._Who]

They stink if you ask me. But thats just the punk side of me speaking.   Perhaps I should stop speaking now...

[Ambassador]

I think they're okay.  I don't like them too much but that's just because I don't like that kind of music to start with.

[Spitfireattack]

Scarborough Fair is not bad,  but the rest of the music is boring.

[Wing Nut]

I said yes, because I like them, but their music hasn't aged as well as most bands from that era.  Even a group as far out there as America (Alligator lizards in the air?) has held up decent while S/G seems almost incomprehensible.

[stargazer]

It's been a while since I've listened to them, but I really like Scarborough Fair and Bridge Over Troubled Water.

[flyboy 28]

Love 'em. I listen to all music and love it. It's weird... lol
