'Bridge Over Troubled Water'

Am I becoming a Simon and Garfunkel fan?

First "Bookends," now "Bridge Over Troubled Water."

The later is chockful of hits ("Bridge Over Troubled Water," "Cecilia," "El Condor Pasa" and "The Boxer") but it has its fair share of great non-hits like "The Only Living Boy in New York," "So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright."

It's full of Simon, who by far is the best. Just writes great songs and is perfect when he's picking at the guitar and keeping it simple and pared down.
