I was going to make this a poll, but to heck with that.  Too many great songs to list.

Some of my favorites:

The Sound of Silence
Scarborough Fair/Canticle
El Condor Pasa (If I Could)
The Boxer
Mrs. Robinson
Homeward Bound
Fakin' It
A Hazy Shade of Winter
For Emily, Wherever I May Find Her
The Dangling Conversation
Patterns
A Simple Desultory Philippic (Or How I Was Robert McNamara'd Into Submission
A Poem on the Underground Wall
Richard Cory
Leaves That Are Green
I Am A Rock
America
My Little Town*

Funny about "The Sounds of Silence" how it suffered from overexposure and got spoofed like "Kum-Baya."  People think it's kind of sentimentalist, sophomoric, and a little sanctimonious.   Yet that has never changed my opinion.  The song still blows my mind!  It is pithy and prophetic, and at the same time ironic.  Paul Simon had one up on the cynics, he engaged in a bit of self parody with the song as well!  Other songs with personal signficance to me are "Patterns," "I Am A Rock," "My Little Town," "A Hazy Shade of Winter," "Fakin' It," "El Condor Pasa (If I Could)** and "The Boxer," "The Boxer," and "The Boxer"!!!

*Although this was officially PS solo, I include it because Garfunkel does backing vocals. 
**Everybody's unwitting introduction to Andean folk music.

So what are some of yours?
(not including Paul Simon solo material...and not including Art Garfunkel solo material, either, wiseguy!)

Mrs. Robinson is great. 
Scarborough Fair is one of my favorites
The Sound of Silence is a cool song too.

for me, Simon & Garfunkel are the greatest duo ever.
add Bridge Over Troubled Water to that list. :)

simon and garfunkel were a bunch of liberal hippies who hate america. they're the reason we lost in vietnam.

sike. i like em. "feelin' groovy" is a particular party favorite. cuz it dates rather... badly. and yet is still a good song.

I am always listening to them, I find them soothing.

I LOVE S&G.  Some of my favorites are:


The Sound of Silence
Scarborough Fair/Canticle
The Boxer
Homeward Bound
A Hazy Shade of Winter
I Am A Rock
America
My Little Town
Bridge Over Troubled Water (didn't care too much for this at first but it really grew on me)


FYI: Mrs. Robinson was orginally Mrs. Roosevelt but when the Graduate came out, they changed it.

It is hard to pick a favorite.  You can't listen to just one because when you hear one you think of another you just have to listen too

My current personal favourite is " I am a rock " :)

coincidence that I was watching the movie Almost Famous today. I needed a change from the 24hr A Christmas Story marathon and one of my favorite scenes in the beginning of the movie involves 18 year old daughter Anita trying to sneak a Simon & Garfunkel album past her mom under her coat.

ELAINE: And what have you got under your coat?

Anita withdraws the album. It's Simon and Garfunkel's Bookends.

ANITA: It's unfair that we can't listen to our music!

ELAINE:Honey, it's all about drugs and promiscuous sex.

ANITA:Simon and Garfunkel is poetry!

ELAINE:Yes it's poetry. It's the poetry of drugs and promiscuous sex. Look at the picture on the cover...

ELAINE:... honey, they're on pot. as Mom points to their eyes

~Almost Famous~


my favorites would be (in no particular order:
The Sound Of Silence
The Boxer
Bridge Over Troubled Water
I Am A Rock
Mrs. Robinson
Scarborough Fair/Canticle
America
Cecilia
El Condor Pasa (If I Could)

Superb act, which I never tire of listening to...

Just one little bit of criticism...the last bombastic verse of 'Bridge Over Troubled Water', which somehow detracts from the poignancy of the first two verses (tho' I suppose it has to end somehow...)

Speaking of Vietnam (well, someone was!), '7 O'Clock News/Silent Night' is a simple, but inspired piece of work...

Man, if you are trying to blame Paul and Art for Vietnam, what's next? Blaming Bon Jovi for releasing "Wanted Dead or Alive" around the time that the Iran Contra Scandal was going down? If anything, the music back then reflected society in general at the time. Peace is not your enemy.

He's kidding! That's why he said "Sike"... though... it should've been "Psyche". XD
