This album is quintessential Simon & Garfunkel, with the title track holding it's rightful place as the best song of the 20th century. It was a musical signpost of a turbulent time in the world and somehow excapsulated the pain, fear, worry, sorrow, anger and hope we felt at the time. But beyond that, it's an amazing recording, a mix of the carefully engineered sounds of songs like "The Boxer" with the last minute rewrite in the recording in the studio that made the title track a timeless classic.
