My mum has been a fan all her life and I've been listening to them as long as I can remember (now 50)! My top 3 are: Bridge Over Troubled Water The Boxer So Long Frank Lloyd Wright

Surely, 'The Boxer'. Oh, and 'Kathy's Song'. Beautiful lyrics.

So hard to pick just one. I guess maybe Scarborogh Fair/Canticle, though there are probably a couple dozen S&G songs that I would rank close to it. Paul Simon's songs range from heartbreakingly lonely, to happy and carefree, to insightful glimpses of relationships dead or dying. He has "melancholy" pretty well nailed down, and some of his lyrics are, to my mind, poetry to rival the masters. "Old Friends," "The Boxer," "Bridge Over Troubled Water," "America"...just too many.

"Homeward Bound", though "The Boxer" comes in second.

"Cecilia". I have no idea why, other than that it's insanely catchy. (Does that make me superficial?)

Very hard to choose, but I'd have to say "I am a Rock." That song applies to 99% of the FSM board! ("I've got my scores/and my/ DVDs to protect me") I think that "Mrs. Robinson" has now surpassed "Bridge Over Troubled Water" to become the duo's best-known song. "Best-known" perhaps, but best-loved? I doubt that.
