    Default Simon & Garfunkel Power Rankings

    Shamelessly stolen from Jowy after he did a Foreigner list. I am thinking this up on the fly, and hopefully I will include more than the just the hits that everyone knows. I also have no clue how deep I'm taking the list.

    1. The Sound of Silence (original acoustic version)
    2. April Come She Will
    3. The Boxer
    4. Bridge Over Troubled Water
    5. America
    6. The Only Living Boy in New York
    7. I Am a Rock (at Pike's request)
    8. Mrs. Robinson
    9. Old Friends
    10. Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M.
    11. For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her
    12. Scarborough Fair
    13. Song for the Asking (a personal favorite of mine)
    14. Fakin' It

    Discuss your favorite Simon & Garfunkel songs. If this is well-received, I will consider doing a Gordon Lightfoot list. I have lots of his songs to go over.

    "I am a Rock" needs to be on here somewhere; preferably toward the top.

    Also "Feelin' Groovy."

    I forgot about "I Am a Rock". That's a good one. "Feelin' Groovy" is nice too, but sometimes I'm just not in the mood to hear that.

    I added "I Am a Rock" to the list, but it's not going higher than that. I like the song, but there are others that I think belong higher.

    I think "I Am a Rock" might be my personal favorite of theirs because it's so raw and then Paul Simon's voice quavers at the very end, and it just tells such a story to me.

    1) The Sound of Silence
    2) Bridge over Troubled Water

    The only two songs that I've listened to by them.

    Oh, that simply will not do, Trumpet. *glares menacingly*

    Just kidding. It's okay. I'm sure if you look on Youtube you can find all their songs. My dad gave me a collection of all 5 studio albums as an Easter gift when I was in high school, so I've heard them all.

    It used to, but since I have such a wide range of music on my computer, I can usually find something else to get stuck.

    Speaking of Paul Simon and songs getting stuck in your head:

    Freaking GRACELAND, every time.
