Do you think Paul Simon is one of the greatest artists of our

Yes. His lyrics paint pictures of everyday people like a worn out boxer and a simple drug dealer as precisely and poetic as a norman rockwell painting, showing you the true beauty of everyday life, that we so often cast away or forget about. And his melodies are incredibly complex and abstract hidden behind the guise of simple folk picking.

I honestly prefer his solo stuff ala Graceland (Obviously) and his self titled, but the Garfunkel influence is so beautiful. I often wonder what his south african influenced music would be like had they not had the falling out and Garfunkel went along with Paul.

Yes. He's a wonderful melodicist.

I absolutely love Paul Simon. My first exposure to him was through the album the rhythm of the saints, and it is by far my favorite album of all time.

wonderful songwriter, definitely one of the best of his generation i m o.

After you found ROTS, did you go back and listen to graceland? How did you think it compared hearing ROTS first?

No matter how many times people try to meme Sound of Silence it never gets in the way of my enjoyment of it. Guess thats how good he is

I enjoy that thing he does where he records a few songs, prints them on CD and sends them to stores where I can listen to them in exchange for money.
He's a pretty cool dude.
