Free Music Notes for The Best of Simon & Garfunkel
Free Music Review: You must have this one...
Hit: 5 Stars
Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel are unquestionably two of the best in our time. It is so nice to listen to their music, and this CD certainly gathers their biggest hits. I would suggest that you'll get it, and if you don't own one of their CDs aldreay, you must have this one.
However, I think that if you own their "Essential", I'm not sure that having this one as well is such a good idea, because it reapets their great songs from their. Moreover, "The Essential" contains a lot more of their songs.
Bottom line? have it. This is one CD that you shouldn't overlook.
Free Music Review: An Ideal Simon & Garfunkel Collection For Casual Fans
Hit: 5 Stars
The duo of Paul Simon and Arthur Garfunkel is perhaps the most recognizable twosome in rock history. In the late 1960s' and early 1970s', Simon & Garfunkle dominated the charts, and are considered legends todya. And with most legendary bands, they're a barrage of unneccessary best of's and greatst hits collections for the casual fan to choose from. In 1999, the single disc, 20 track "Best Of Simon & Garfunkel" was released. How does it hold up? Read on for the (practically inevitable) positives and negatives.
Positives:
-If you're a casual fan of Simon & Garfunkel, than this collection is ideal. It has all the big hits: "The Sounds Of Silence", "Homeward Bound", "I Am A Rock", "Scarborough Fair/Canticle", "A Hazy Shade Of Winter', "Mrs. Robinson", "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and every other big hit is available on here.
-Underrated gems have been included as well, such as "Old Friends", "The Only Living Boy In Brooklyn" and "Song For The Asking".
-Fantastic sound quality.
-Good liner notes with photos and track info.
Negatives:
-I can only if one major flaw: the cd does not fill the eighty minute time limit most cds can hold. If this collection included "What A Wonderful World" (the 1978 reunion that also featured James Taylor) and the live version of "Wake Up Little Susie", it would be perfect. It's pretty close.
Bottom line: if you only want one Simon & Garfunkel cd, than this is the one to have.
Free Music Review: Will there ever again be pop music of this genre?
Hit: 4 Stars
The album brings together very good examples of Simon and Garfunkel's music. A collection of beatiful songs, perhaps (at least in my view) some of the best ever to be written.

Hit: 5 Stars
.....are absolutely positively certainly AMAZING. Sorry this won't be too helpful but I'm listening to them right now and I had to say it. Oh and this greatest hits or whatever it is, is just ok but its too short. You can't capture S&G in these few songs. I would recommend The Collected Works collection, although it isn't being made anymore I don't think, you could still get it used somewhere or something. It's a whole lot better than the Essential collection or this. I own almost every song Paul Simon wrote and I must say he is a God. Thanks for listening to me ramble.Free Music Review: Always a Winner
Hit: 5 Stars
Simon and Garfunkel bring back so many great memories for me. I bought this CD to replace a vinyl album that was just simply NOT the right media anymore.
I can't say enough - S&G crisp and clear...from At the Zoo to Bridge Over Troubled Water. Fun, fun, fun!
