Paul and Artie are among my very favorite musicians of all time, and I am so glad I saw them in concert a few years back. There are several singer-songwriters from that era I never got to see or never will see, like Cat Stevens, John Denver and Jim Croce.
I have to give thanks to my sister Ann and my brother Rich who introduced me to Simon & Garfunkel as a wee one. There are certain S&G songs that transport me to childhood moments. Listening to anything from "Bookends" reminds me of sunny afternoons with Ann in her VW Rabbit. When "Cecilia" comes on, I am transported to my family's living room on a Saturday afternoon, singing and dancing with my sisters.
Anyway, my list differs a bit from the Washington Times'. Here's my top 10:
1. Bridge Over Troubled Water
2. America
3. For Emily, Wherever I May Find Her
4. The Boxer
5. Kathy’s Song
6. April Come She Will
7. The Leaves that are Green
8. My Little Town (recorded 1975, post breakup)
9. I Am A Rock
10. Punky’s Dilemma
What's on your list?
