Simon & Garfunkle

Bridge Over Troubled Water - the only Simon & Garfunkel studio album in my CD collection.

I have a close personal connection to the song Old Friends from Bookends, it also have a nice flow with songs including Mr Robinson and America, but Old Friends with its lyrics, is singing to my persona and psyche.

I like that Paul Simon in the 60s traveld and lived England to get a feeling, impulse and perspective, so during the production of some of these albums he was pulling influence from both American and European roots.

Parsley, Sage ... was the first LP I ever purchased back in ancient times, but Bookends is the one I listened to most.

"Interesting" fact - I once ran a music quiz and did a round where you had to guess the name of the album from its initials (e.g. CTTE). I did BOTW and someone guess it was "Best of The Wombles". 

It's got to be Bridge over Troubled Water.

I voted for Bridge over Troubled Water, as that album absolutely epitomizes its time period. It's hard to even imagine the early-1970s without that album continuously lingering in the background. I remember going over to many people's houses and looking at their record collections, which ALWAYS included a copy of Bridge over Troubled Water. That album was everywhere! It's one of those albums where it's easy to understand why they broke up after releasing it: where could they go from there, as a duo?
