i´m sure that this has been posted on here hundereds of times so i am sorry if it is getting annoying to anyone. but i would Love know your favorite songs written by Paul Simon. during S&G or after.

these questions are always so hard to answer because it almost changes on a case by case senerio, but songs that i continually go back to are:
1) Train In The Distance
2) Some Folks Lives Role Easy
3) Still Crazy After All These Years
4) Everything Put Together Falls Apart
5) Over

god, i could take the list to 100 if i didnt have any self control. but those are my top five as of june 29th, 2004 @ 11:50am.

What are yours?

Hi,

I could also make a top 100..

But here´s my top 5 ( although it changes from time to time )
1)Graceland
2)Still Crazy After All These Years ( particularly I like the sax solo, and that varies also from time to time, but the best I ever heard is from the YTO dvd.
3)The Boxer and The Coast ( starts both with "the" so counts for one)
4)Mother And Child Reunion
5)America and American Tune ( hey alsmost the same title, so counts for one as well .... :-)
6) Sparrow and Duncan
7) Hearts And Bones
8) I Am A Rock, the slow version on the YTO dvd
9) Keep The Customer Satisfied
10) A Most Peculiar Man and Old Friends
11) Slip Sliding Away and You´re The One
12)Something So Right
13) The Only Living Boy In New York
14) Gumboots ( can anyone tell me why this song is called Gumboots????

I´m sorry I cheated, it is just too hard!!!

I am assuming from the previous entries that this is Paul Simon as in Paul Simon - songwriter extraordinaire and not Paul Simon - solo.

My top 5 are:

1. The Boxer
2. Hurricane Eye
3. The Coast
4. Hearts And Bones
5. Slip Slidin´ Away or Flowers Never Bend in the Rainfall

Honourable mentions to all the rest :-)

Actually, a Top 5 list isn´t too hard ... he has hundreds of great ones, but I think I can round out MY Top 5:

1) Something So Right
2) America
3) The Cool, Cool River
4) Bridge Over Troubled Water
5) That´s Where I Belong

Okay, yeah you´re right ... that WAS hard! Top 5 Runners-Up (ha ha):

1) Homeward Bound
2) The Coast
3) Punky´s Dilemma
4) Still Crazy After All These Years
5) American Tune

Sorry, I cheated ... that´s a Top 10 ... and I think I still left out at least 12 songs that could be in my Top 10 any day. Bad question! New thread! 8^)

Because then the Germans als would ask for more than 2 shows...then the Japanese people, Australian... and then they have to tour until they are diying in the tour bus (and I guess that will happen soon then ;-) )

"Mourir sur scène" or something like that, "devant les projecteurs" :-) That´s what Molière did !
