That's what I am listening to this very moment.....Rhythm of the Saints....
Good on you. Obvious Child is one of my all-time favorite songs. I think Paul Simon is a god of music. Lyrics just as good as Dylan, melodies better than probably anyone I've ever heard. It's always been my dream to write a multi-character love story using a soundtrack comprised entirely of Paul Simon songs.
I love Simon & Garfunkel. Simon alone... spotty. Really liked parts of Graceland though. He's as good as Dylan, in my book. But then again, that's not saying as much as one might assume...
he pretty much called janine garofolo a douche bag, in that snl book
so he is good
and i for one can tell you that driving across the 59th Street Bridge does in fact make you feel Kinda groovy

My best friend and his wife saw Simon and Garfunkel last night at Staples... I actually saw Paul Simon live about a year or two ago in San Diego when Brian Wilson opened for him... I actually went for Brian Wilson, and didn't care much for Paul Simon, though I really loved the music he played that night...
The Graceland album is the soundtrack of my childhood my father used to play it all the time. So naturally I'm a huge Paul Simon fan.

Yeah, Graceland was a phenomenal album. But overall I like Simon and Garfunkel. Just some amazing chemistry there.
But for musicians I grew up on, there's no beating:

Grew up with his Greatest hits album too. That and Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club band, and ELO - out of the blue. Vinyl. The bulk of my teenage years were Simon and Garfunkel but I'm not sure about Paul Simon on his own. Any tracks you can recommend?

I went to that same concert -- Brian Wilson and Paul Simon!! Except I saw them in Santa Barbara. My friend and I (both early twenties) were practically the youngest people there. The rest were my parents age. I was heavily into Brian Wilson at the time. Matter of fact, still am. I think he is a genius. And Paul Simon is one of my favorite musicians of all time.
My dentist boss is called Paul Simon. A useless bit of info, that I felt I needed to share...ha ha
Oh My God!! Welcome Back, beady!!!
Hey!!! Thanx..missed ya MacGuffin ;)
