In honour of the little man's seventieth birthday*, what's your favourite song from his forty years or so of material? Surely one of America's great songwriters. Let's praise someone great before they die!

*Yes, his birthday was actually yesterday but I only discovered this vital fact late last night...

Bright eyes?

 

[Twinkle Toes]

I think this is still my favourite by the Rhymin' One (& Funk Argunkel innit):-

For personal reasons always found Homeward Bound fairly emotional. Also really liked The Boxer.

 

[Fred Oliver - Legend]

Bright eyes?

Art Garfunkel no?

 

[Jam The Man]

So many to choose from, but i'll go for 'America'

 

[Jam The Man]

And I believe that station was one of the Manchester ones, Salford.

Widnes I think

 

[Austrian Gull]

Some inspired choices which prove that the fellow is a true genius:

I've got to put one more up!

It was Widnes (and if you have ever been there you would understand the song completely).

[Sompting_Seagull]

From last month still sounding great.

 

[Danny 4]

:guitar:'Call me Al' due to the bass guitar in the middle but have a fondness for Graceland. Watched Simon and Garfunkel at Hyde park in 04' and was not sure if they had fully got over their feud.:guitar:

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Widnes I think

I haven't wikied this (again) but I am almost certain it was Salford?

Ah crap, three times wrong in one day, I think I'll start cheating and google it all!

 

[smillie's garden]

The first solo album (where Simon is sporting the parka on the cover) is brilliant imo. Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard is really good, and the song Duncan contains the immortal line "My Father was a fisherman, my mother was a fisherman's friend..."

Always a good suck when you have a sore throat.

The Boxer is a good one.

SO many. Bridge over troubled water, Sounds of Silence, Houward Bound, Kodachrome, Diamonds on the soul of her shoes, still crazy...... don't know where to begon and don't know why I haven't listened to any of them for many years
