The Boxer.

 

[Coda]

...the SNL version of the Boxer is my favorite version of The Boxer...

 

[sunvalleylaw]

Yeah, I like a lot of their songs, but The Boxer is the one i pick if I have to pick one. That is a good version too. I like it without the "slammy" sound effects in the chorus.

Sound of Silence is one of my favorite songs of all time. ever.

 

[Tralfaz]

So many gems spread across all their albums that it's practically impossible to narrow the choice down. I like the quiet songs in the corner, though... "So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright," "Overs," "Old Friends," "Song for the Asking," etc. Then again I like the more uptempo stuff too.

"Old Friends". That's a good one.

 

[Chad]

I like the original version of "Sounds of Silence" the one before they sold their souls to the devil.

 

[sunvalleylaw]

For upbeat, I like these covers:

Lemonheads:




To get my Susanna Hoffs fix:



I love this song. Snuff does a good version too. I like that Ric Susanna is rockin' too.

 

[Kerouac]

As for Sounds of Silence, I like the version with the "Byrds" treatment.


I also tend to prefer Paul Simon on his own, more than with Garfunkel.

 

[sunvalleylaw]

Yeah, Simon was more successful on his own, and arguably better. I do remember one Art album that I liked when I was in middle school, "Breakaway". I haven't listened to it in years, though I hear solo Simon all the time. "Kodachrome" is my favorite Simon solo effort.
