For me, “Bridge over troubled water” isn’t typical of their stuff (although I do like that song). For me, “I am a Rock” is far more representative of Simon & Garfunkel‘s music. But y’know, each to his own etc etc Was just looking at their song list ....I just found out they wrote “Hazy shade of winter “ , I always assumed the Bagles wrote that Edited January 27, 2018 by tonyh29 Edit - should be Bangles but following robs post I’ll leave it as originally was !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't suggesting that you were the 'only person who had never heard it before'. I'm just genuinely amazed that, given your vintage (similar to mine), you haven't come across it; that, even though it's not your bag, you haven't a friend, acquaintance or family member who may have at least had the Simon & Garfunkel greatest hits album and have played it in your presence even if you haven't queued for hours simply to buy a record that came out as a single some half a dozen years before you were born. It may well be betraying more about me than it is about you, I'll grant. I'm just very surprised you hadn't heard the song until a few months ago: I didn't suggest you were living under a rock.

Mark Albrighton Posted January 27, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 27, 2018 For a minute then I was genuinely wondering how @tonyh29 could get Simon & Garfunkel mixed up with the Bangles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t get your first paragraph , i hadn’t even thought of your last sentence , I was just saying there is a lot of music I’ve never heard my dads record collection pretty much consisted of Slade , The Beatles and Steeleye Span ... my mum Cliff Richard ... it’s safe to say I didn’t grow up in a music loving family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are telling me that Johnny Marr came up with that sound, and would like me to apologise, I would certainly be willing to pretend to. I still despise them though. Oh, and whoever at Penguin books authorised Morrissey's autoeroticbiography being not only published, but published under the Penguin Classics imprint, should have been fired on the spot. Brilliant! Claims that The Smiths are utterly derivative based on the fact that Marr plays the same guitar as somebody else. That’s quite a reason for hating a band.

Rugeley Villa Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 It's Morrisey for me. He's an obnoxious clearing in the woods, and I'd love to shove those flowers up his arse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
