Free Music Notes for Paul Simon 1964-1993

Free Music Review: Simon is one of the great musicians of the last 40 years
Hit: 5 Stars

However, whenever I debate the great musicians with friends his name rarely comes up without my bringing up his name because nobody else has brought it up before me. Everybody rushes to bring up the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, The Who, Bruce Springsteen, Elvis, Billy Joel, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Lou Reed, the Sex Pistols, U2, the Eagles, etc. Yet, for some reason folks appear to forget the likes of Paul Simon. I can only assume that it has something to do with his music being more folksy and slower. Yet, it is part of the same musical movement as the rest of them. And nobody ever says that his name doesn't belong on the list of the all-time greats. Just people rarely mention Paul Simon in debates like that.

The problem is that the work for Simon is truly some of the best work in all of music. Think about it, "The Sound of Silence", "America", "Mrs. Robinson", "Bridge Over Troubled Water", "Me and Julio down by the School Yard", "Hey, Schoolgirl", "Still Crazy after all these years", "Jonah", "50 Ways to Leave your Lover", "Graceland", "Diamonds on the Soles of her Shoes"... And that's but a sampling of his work.

One of my all time favorite songs is "America". This is a great collection for people to listen too. It hits what would be considering the three great stages of Simon's career, the Simon and Garfunkel years, his early solo work, and then his later solo work.

Yes, this collection is a tad expensive, but it is worth it. I highly recommend this collection.
