The Best Of Simon & Garfunkel Reviews
"For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her" is a stunning ballad; and "America" will always be a classic. "Homeward Bound" is clearly another highlight of this album; and listen also for great, great hits like "I Am A Rock" with its sublime arrangement; "Scarborough Fair/Canticle;" and "The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)." These songs are truly Simon & Garfunkel at their very best. The CD ends beautifully with Simon & Garfunkel performing "My Little Town." "My Little Town" is a strong number with key modulations that make this a very memorable numberand very pretty in its own special way. I highly recommend this for newcomers to the fine artistry of these two talented musicians.
"Fakin' It" is an underrated song on this CD. "The Boxer" is pensive with a very artsy presentation; and I really like "Bridge Over Troubled Water." "Bridge Over Troubled Water" is clearly an enormous masterpiece; this song is nothing short of a stroke of genius and I have yet to meet many people who don't enjoy this ballad. There are some other gems that casual fans may not recognize the first time they hear them. In addition, "Old Friends" is a very pretty tune that reminds me somewhat of ""Scarborough Fair/Canticle.". The fact that this CD still sells well reflects the fact that Simon & Garfunkel really were a remarkable, formidable team. The lyrics are thoughtful and memorable; and "The Sound Of Silence" is a strong beginning for this album.
"Cecilia" has an excellent beat; and listen for "The Only Living Boy In New York." "The Only Living Boy In New York" has excellent vocals by Paul Simon and of course when Art Garfunkel joins him this tune is simply beautiful. The CD begins with their classic hit entitled "The Sound Of Silence." Simon & Garfunkel harmonize so very well; and the guitar work enhances the beauty of the melody. "Fakin' It" is equally beautiful and I like the guitar work as Simon & Garfunkel never miss a note. The melodies are catchy and the lyrics are so sweet that they are easy to remember. The quality of the sound is excellent and the artwork is good.
Robinson," their huge success from the movie entitled The Graduate, is one of my favorite Simon & Garfunkel tunes; and they handle this magnificently. Overall, this is about the best single CD introduction to Simon & Garfunkel that you're ever going to get. The CD comes with liner notes as well. But the timeless classic tunes go on. The Best of Simon & Garfunkel is a strong CD that serves its purpose best as an introductory album to the great music these guys gave to us all.
"Mrs. There's a great tune entitled "A Hazy Shade Of Winter" that has an excellent rhythm with just a side dish of a somewhat psychedelic flavored rock.
everyone knew and loved simon & garfunkel. probably the most timeless music you will ever hear.
Shipping was very timely. I enjoyed this cd more than "The Greatest Hits" album because most of these songs are not marred by audience clapping. Much better selection, also.
This is a great replacement for the old 10-track LP I had as a kid.
I think this music holds the test of time and brought some wonderful memories back to me as I listened.
