Ranked 12th on my overall chart... so for me, I guess that answers that.

Always preferred Bridge Over Troubled Water to the rest, Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme is a relatively close second though. That said, I'd choose most of Paul Simon's solo stuff above Simon & Garfunkel's.

Only ever actually committed to Bridge Over Troubled Water, which I've always thought is pretty meh. Obviously S&G have some great singles, but to me they've only ever been a singles band, never been mad to explore them further.

Jackson C Frank's is in my top ten, and I can't see him moving anytime soon (could even climb higher), Very powerful album, captures something few 60s artists were able to do at the time.

I thought this poll would be in regards to whose 'Blues Run the Game' is better - Frank's version is obviously superior - and was readying a link to Jackie Leven's massively underrated version, which I'll leave here anyway despite it having zero relevance to this discussion.

Wow! That's beautiful! And I totally agree JCF's "Blues Run The Game" is way way better than Simin and Garfunkel's.

Idk, I think the music and harmonies and lyricism too is all superior on most S&G stuff. I just think as albums go S&G was pretty much better in every way. Not to say Jackson C Frank isn't a marvelous and captivating sad bastard album. I really enjoy it. But I don't feel it's as rich or poppy or ear-catching as Bookends or Sound of Silence.

What's your reasoning?

I don't think there's a clear better album here. Simon/Garfunkel were culturally important and the albums are all good, but Frank tapped into something arguably more ahead of it's time than what you hear on Sounds of Silence.

Jackson C. Frank's only album, self titled vs. Simon & Garfunkel's best record
