Simon and Garfunkel (Official Thread)

[joker1961]

They did some great stuff together, but Paul Simon was always the engine room of that relationship. He has done some great stuff on his own, and continues to do so. I can't think of anything particularly outstanding that Garfunkel has done (Bright Eyes anyone? ).

When I saw them live they said they had buried the hatchet, I wondered where they had buried it, they performed very well, I really don't understand why they don't get on. I think that Paul Simon has had a more successful career but together they were something else. I think Art has not done too much on his own and I actually think that he is jealous of Paul.

No one can ever take anything away from them for what they achieved, everyone should own at least a greatest hits collection if not all their albums. I will be picking up the new Paul Simon album, he sure looks old now.

@Johnny-Too-Good bright eyes hmmm sweaty your right about own an album for sure amazing work between the two guys...

I guess bands or musicians that can sing beautiful harmonies melt my heart and these two are at the top of that list. They have so many great songs I can't even say what my favorite on is. What is weird though is when I heard the Disturbed remake of "The Sound Of Silence" I thought it was brilliant and it actually gave me chills.

I won't pick which version I like better but seeing the "Sound of Silence" cover in concert recently was enough to justify the cost of my ticket!

I still like the more mellow sound of Simon & Garfunkel's better, but for a Metal band to pull off what they did with that song was utterly amazing.
