Cream vs Simon & Garfunkel

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   for reference, could anyone recommend some 'classic' S&G albums to start with? From the little music I heard from them and from everything else I heard about them I always wrote them off as just a typical folk-pop thing or whatever without much merit or substance... figure I should give em a try if this many of you like them, and above Cream at that

	Cream was a huge part of my life. I celebrated Jack Bruce's birthday (May 14th) every year, and hung on every one of Pete Brown's lyrics. Even Eric Clapton (of whom I'm not a fan) sounded good in Cream. Simon and Garfunkel were great, no doubt in my mind, but had nowhere near the same effect on me growing up.

	I agree with how S&G (like they're an insurance firm) are more consistent. I never cared for Cream outside of a few 'hits'. I had a friend who kept pushing me into Disraeli Gears but I never liked it as a whole. But hey, wouldn't CSN Vs S&G be a better matchup?

	never cared for Simon & Garfunkel. Cream are classic though, the only Clapton group I truly love

	I think S & G played a bigger role in music. Cream is alright with me, too.
	Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

	Cream for me, mostly because of my taste for blues. I mean, you can't go wrong with Eric Clapton. The majority of my S&G experience is just "the hits," though, and I suspect I would appreciate them more if I heard some full albums (I still think they're good).

	just curious two of the big music points of the 60s, one of the most important trios in rock against the most imortant duo in music, who is your favourite of them, whom means the most to you as a person and aslo to you as a cyouth in the 60s or70s or if you were not a youth in those eras but post-era youth, did them effect you and in which way?....
