Your favourite Paul Simon songs

[Icy Gull]

Inspired by the fact that the story of the Graceland album is on BBC 4 tonight at 9pm

A song that made me want to go to America as a starry eyed young kid.

I had no idea that the New Jersey turnpike would be such a letdown

Sound of Silence

 

[Marxo]

At school when this came out my friends were always smirking when the line 'toss me a cigarette' came up, I was the last one to know what 'toss' meant. A great song though.

very much both of these. I heard the Boxer in the car the other day, not having heard it for years, and sang along word-perfect. But Diamonds is probably my favourite ever Paul Simon song and track.

I can always listen to Homeward Bound.

I can't really think at the moment. It's too late in the evening..

Nope, not familiar with that one, which album was it on?

I like a lot of his songs. My most played three are Bleecker Street, How can you like in the Northeast and Kodachrome.

I'm not sure the early songs and performances with Garfunkel were ever bettered - but even the most recent albums have lots of decent songs on them.

 

[Del Fenner]

Goosepimples every time.

So many great songs to choose from. Prefer his solo albums to the work with Art Garfunkel.

 

[WATFORD zero]

Still crazy after all these years

 

[Tarpon]

 

[Diego Napier]

Kathy's song for me



along with Bridge Over Troubled Water & America

so many but when I saw the thread I first thought of Kodachrome

April come she will

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Funnily enough, just took out a couple of his cd's to load on my cocktail. I also like Late in the Evening. Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard and seasonally appropriately I like Gettin' Ready for Christmas Day. Mind you, I might add Graceland, 50 Ways to Leave your Lover or - 0h dear, just too many to choose from!

50 ways to leave your lover - the verse gets me right in the feels, beautifully written.
