Almost everybody has heard nearly half of these songs in one way or another; whether it be on the radio, tv commericals, movies, tv shows, or in stores. All 20 of this songs are legendary gems of an unforgetable era for music; filled with vivid imagery and well-crafted arrangements. This single CD set offers a immense insight into the career of two of the most popular and influencial artists of our time.
The songs on here include their three US #1 hits: the haunting "Sounds Of Silence", the cheery and catchy "Mrs. Robinson" and the beautifully gracious "Bridge Over Troubled Water" where Art Garfunkel sings in the most beautiful and poignant I've ever heard. Several more hits are on here too like the dark, ambiguous "Boxer", the yearning "Homeward Bound" in which Paul Simon sings mournfully about wanting to be home again, the anthem-like "I Am A Rock", the raunchy "Cecilia" and much much more. Even their 1975 reunion hit, "My Little Town", is here! And so is the mild hit "Fakin' It" in its original mono mix!
Aside from the hits, this album also includes favorites such as "The 59th Street Bridge Song", "America", "Old Friends/Bookends", and "The Only Living Boy In New York". A live version of "For Emily, Wherever I May Find Her" is included as well. Songs that weren't included and should've been included "Baby Driver" or "Keep The Customer Satisfied" but, enough said, this is a wonderful collection.

Loving these artists but not being a total hard-core fan and thus someone who probably would want a box-set or individual albums, this disc was perfect for me. If I were compiling a list of top 100 CDs, this one would be on it for sure.
The quality/remastering sounds excellent and warm for a cd. Even if you are spoiled by or prefer the sound of SACD/Dvd-A as I do, you will be pleasantly suprised by the high quality, non-fatiguing, non-harsh sound of this disc. This is consistant throughout. If you happen to be someone who has only heard some of these songs on the radio or as mp3s, this will be a real ear-opening experience for you as you hear new detail and experience a totally new and enhanced impact and involvement than ever before.

My generation will always cherish these songs. It was a large part of our lives. A few years ago I went to their concert in St. Paul, MN and they were better than ever.
