I’d have left it at Sounds of Silence. But fuck that was incredible. Thanks for the heads up @Fagan_ODowd

No harm to hear another blast of Late in the Evening.
Just a couple of points to note. There were no big screens in those days. The guys at the back of the crowd could see two dots a half a mile away.
There was no Autotune. Art Garfunkel could nail Bridge Over Troubled Water or make an utter bollix of it. There was no fella in a booth to smooth out rough patches. He nailed it.

They hated each other.
You’d want to be blind not to see it

I posted up an article about them a while back. Must dig it out.
Simon, while an amazing songwriter, always seemed like a massive dickhead. Garfunkel just seemed like more of an oddball
They did a big tour around 2003/04 and a few more sporadic appearances since together but I think both are retired from touring now.

Paul Simon will be 80 on Wednesday lads.
Lovely bit of cut to that
Pretty shit year for music if I Honestly Love You by Olivia Newton John was getting the Grammy for best song.
I wouldn’t necessarily be using the Grammys as a barometer for good taste

1975 was a particular low point for the Grammys and US music in general I’d say.
You will note in my post above I referenced US music. So Queen, 10cc, ABBA, the Bee Gees etc don’t count.

Yes, I clearly made that distinction in my post 
But you got the guaranteed like anyway 
Yeah was thinking that. Wonder what the best year in terms of 5 nominated was?
Lennon comes across as a sneery shit stirring cunt in that disappointingly enough
Not sure what you are trying to say there.
I wasn’t disagreeing with you. That’s all, but @myboyblue got his usual boner as he interpreted your post as a smack down, a bully always likes allies
