I like The Boxer, The Sound Of Silence & Bridge Over Troubled Water... ------------- 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 |

 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!!!! ------------- The moon is made by some lame cooper and you can see the idiot has no idea about moons at all - Nikolay Gogol |

Bookends really but their other albums are also worth checking out. ------------- "Magma was the very first gothic rock band" (Didier Lockwood) |
