So I've just got home and finally reached the weekend and have been playing Simon & Garfunkel songs pretty loudly and it got me thinking, what does a 'relatively' sensible group of people think is their best song?
I'll do a Star vote firstly:
5 Star: The Boxer (personally my favourite and which I think is their best)

4 Star: The Sound of Silence
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IjawyE9YII
3 Star: Homeward Bound
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7z9wd9bS1FM
2 Star: Cecilia
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5_QV97eYqM
1 Star: Bridge over Troubled Water (not really my favourite but can't really miss it out due to IMO general public perception this is their best)

Honourable mentions to Mrs Robinson:

I'm a Rock:

IMO these two wrote better songs than The Beatles did or anyone from that era and have made powerful anthems you can sing to. If you haven't heard their stuff you really should listen to some of these songs, amazing. I have my dad to thank for introducing me to these songs, I'm thankful he at least has a good varied taste in music!
Paul Simon & Art Garfunkel two of the best ever
Which is your favourite?
Greatest Simon & Garfunkel Song?!

I had to sing Simon and Garfunkle songs in music lessons back when I was at school. I genuinely tried to sing properly but am so bad a singer they didn't believe me and I got banned from music lessons for a while, a month I think it was. I had to sit outside in the corridor. Its their fault anyway, they should have taught me how to sing in the first place.
