I can strangle a canary in a tin can and it would be really original, but that wouldn't save it from sounding like utter sh*t.

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

Best act from the sixties. IMHO of course.
Sample the following songs:
Sound of silence
Scarborough fair
America
Kathy's song
For Emily
The boxer
I am a rock
Mrs. Robinson
The only living boy in New York
Bridge over troubled water
Hazy shade of winter
So long Frank Lloyd Wright

I really like them too. There, I've come out, I've said it, I like
Simon & Grafunkel! Maybe we should all form an encounter group....
Pretty good selection above. Moving on from that I really like Paul
Simon's solo effort "Rythmn of the Saints" (think I have the name right
- followed on from, and IMHO better than, Graceland).
Of course you could try Yes' version of America (best live on Keys to Ascension...but I digress....)

While many folks liked Bridge Over Troubled Water, my favorite is Bookends.....
Not surprising that many proggers like them...excellent music, thoughtful lyrics....
Chris and Jon discussed them when they were forming Yes on Wardour Street at La Chasse.
The Fifth Dimension too!!!!

Try their original albums!  "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme" is my favourite...

"flowers never bend with the rainfall"
"america"
"leaves that are green"
________________________
"dangling conversation"
"homeward bound"
in that order...., although "bridge over troubled waters" is pretty overwhelming...

Bookends really but their other albums are also worth checking out.
