'Paul Simon'

Right now, my favorite album. Bought it at a record store about three months ago and didn't put it on the turntable up until a month ago.

Brilliant. Really haven't taken it off except for Genesis, The Monkees and Joni Mitchell.

Paul Simon is the exact reason why I really can't get behind Graceland and Hearts and Bones, two later albums that seem so distasteful, overproduced, overinstrumented and over ... everythinged.

Paul Simon is simple. A guitar, a man and his notebook with his confessional, personal lyrics that detailed parts of his life that you might not be able to get out of the guy even after four pints of beer. There's a reason Edie Brickell married him. Paul Simon is that reason.
