I voted for them last time Squishy. But I just couldn't do it against S&G.

I wouldn't expect you to. Simon & Garfunkel are awesome. I have no idea why they aren't as popular with today's youth as other bands from that period.

I think they are as popular.
Cartoken, Jhereko, Mooseboy, you and Myself all voted Simon and Garfunkel
I don't think they ever released a "great" Album though or a least nothing that compared to other bands form that period.

Don't get me wrong it is very good and I like it, I think it has a few average songs on it though.
And I think the "classic" albums of their contemporaries were better.
Abbey Road
Led Zeppelin four
Exile On Main Street
Ziggy Stardust
Pink Moon
Astral Weeks
The Village Green Preservation Society

Had I thought it through more, I probably would've picked Boards of Canada or Godsped You! Black Emperor, since they have a wider appeal.
And if it were a match between the two videos, I would easily have voted for Simon & Garfunkel. The Sound of Silence has always been one of my favourite songs.

I'll take a stab at that. Simon and Garfunkel are sort of square. You never hard of them doing drugs, saying anything controversial, they didn't come from a DIY working class background, even during the 60's they were acceptable for adults, they wrote kind of sophisticated songs with very sophisticated adult themes... Mainly, Simon and Garfunkel made great music, but they were never really cool like The Beatles, Dylan, or The Stones, for example.
