Which Of These Is Your Favorite Simon & Garfunkel Song?

Do you own any of their albums?... and by albums, I mean VINYL!

I've got this one:

It's an amazing song.

Let us be lovers we'll marry our fortunes together
I've got some real estate here in my bag
So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner pies
And we walked off to look for america
Kathy, I said as we boarded a greyhound in pittsburgh
Michigan seems like a dream to me now
It took me four days to hitchhike from saginaw
I've gone to look for america

Laughing on the bus
Playing games with the faces
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy
I said be careful his bowtie is really a camera

Toss me a cigarette, I think theres one in my raincoat
We smoked the last one an hour ago
So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine
And the moon rose over an open field

Kathy, Im lost, I said, though I knew she was sleeping
I'm empty and aching and I don't know why
Counting the cars on the new jersey turnpike
They've all gone to look for america
All gone to look for america
All gone to look for america

That's a really fine song.

Followed pretty closely by For Emily, Wherever I May Find Her

did you like the movie Garden State?

my wedding music was pretty much all S & G

first one that is


second one was justice of the peace....

I've never been married, but I do love S&G. ;)

good songs from interesting times.

no idea where it is now. What a great album that is!

... like me... 45 or something. :hi:

:hi:

I still have a bunch of vinyl AND a working turntable. I'm moving soon and am seriously thinking about getting rid of the vinyl before I have to pack them up AGAIN and move them.

... it's this big white elephant that I haul with me from home to home. There they are... boxed up ... safely in the back bedroom closet. I don't have a turntable, but I still can't part with them.

They make special album frames that you can buy at most craft or frame shops. Put together a whole wall of some of your favorite album covers!

Not old enough to have owned it on vinyl, but do have some CDs (minus the ones that got stolen. Grr.)

Toss-up between The Boxer and I am a Rock, but I had to go with the Boxer, because that's the first S&G song I ever knew :)

Because it reminds me of someone very dear to me who is no longer with us. But I also love April, Come She Will and For Emily Wherever I May Find Her just for the sheer beauty of Art Garfunkel's voice.

My mother had all their albums in vinyl; I've duplicated most of them in CD for my own collection.

Back when Andy Stephenson owned the Subway shop and was trying to sell the place (and deals kept falling through), we were on Yahoo Messenger one night and he was lamenting the fact that it didn't sell and how much he hated the smell of the place.

He described it as "The Smell of Subway", which reminded me of the song. So we wrote a parody of it called "The Smells of Subway". If I may say so meself, it was good. :)

We always laughed about that one.

Although it is very difficult to pick an absolute favorite....

Don't have the vinyl......

I probably have some tapes someplace, though....

:hi:

The older I get,the more it gets to me...

I like the horns in that one. Then again, I like just about everything Simon and Garfunkel did.

(Paul Simon)
Couple in the next room
Bound to win a prize
They've been going at it all night long
Well, I'm trying to get some sleep
But these motel walls are cheap
Lincoln Duncan is my name
And here's my song, here's my song.

My father was a fisherman
My mama was the fisherman's friend
And I was born in the boredom
And the chowder
So when I reached my prime
I left my home in the Maritimes
Headed down the turnpike for
New England, sweet New England

Holes In my confidence
Holes In the knees of my jeans
I was left without a penny in my pocket
Oo-we I was about destituted
As a kid could be
And I wished I wore a ring
So I could hock it, I'd like to hock it.

A young girl in a parking lot
Was preaching to a crowd
Singing sacred songs and reading
From the Bible
Well, I told her I was lost
And she told me all about the Pentecost
And I seen that girl as the road
To my survival

Just later on the very same night
When I crept to her tent with a flashlight
And my long years of innocence ended
Well, she took me to the woods
Saying here comes something and it feels so good
And just like a dog I was befriended, I was befriended.

Oh, oh, what a night
Oh what a garden of delight
Even now that sweet memory lingers
I was playing my guitar
Lying underneath the stars
Just thanking the Lord
For my fingers,
For my fingers

That's always been a favorite of mine ...

Cecilia. She didn't treat me like the girl in the song, however.

also So Long Frank Lloyd Wright, and of course Richard Cory
I have several vinyl albums - of S&G- have maybe 800 Vinyl from 60s and 70s:hippie:
