Go Vote! I Know It's A Very Tough Choice, But Go.

Go vote! I know it's a very tough choice, but go.

Tbh I have two favorites, Bridge and Only Living Boy, but since my favorite version of Bridge is a demo one for this poll I chose Only Living Boy. And also because of... well, reasons.

BOTW won the poll results for favorite S&G album…. Now:

Poll: favorite Song off the original 1970 studio album Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel:

john lennon and art garfunkel's friendship is like autism vs. adhd

Welp.

Did John really say to Paul "I like it when you're brutal"? Where did that come from?

Yes he did! You can hear it here:

It's a segment of studio chatter used in Eight Days A Week: The Touring Years (2016). The conversation is even included in the transcripts of the film:

I think you're looking for this:

"We were around age 13 and 14. We started rehearsing in an amazingly professional way at a very early age. We had this tape recorder and this thing of trying to sound like the real people… The next thing to do was to get real good in singing so we’d sing and harmonize and hold very serious long rehearsals in his basement and he’d strum and we’d work on a song. We’d be sitting nose-to-nose looking right at each other’s mouths to copy diction. I’d want to know exactly where his tongue would hit the top of his palate when he’d say a “T,” to know exactly how to get that “T” right. And I could see that you could be almost right or even better than almost right and that all of that really was the difference between whether or not it sounded professional. Then once you had it very precise you cooled it out and made it seem effortless."

ffs someone pls help me ive been searching for an hour trying to find this quote... i think its garfunkel talking about paul simon but it could be vice versa, but they describe a moment when they have their faces pressed close together, something about feeling eachothers breathing or mouths or something? maybe looking in eachothers' eyes? idk pls help

Well, of course my favorite is PSRT - obvious, much? 😜

Anyway, why?

Well, I love them all equally tbh, but PSRT holds a special place in my heart. It feels like early Autumn days, a soft breeze that's not too cold, cozy moments in at night but still bright days to spend outside... it's a feeling, you know? It's a liminal album. And I'm a liminal being. So I love it.

Studio album only. Not including The Graduate soundtrack, compilation albums, live albums, or watching The Concert In Central Park which is just the best thing ever...
