Sure he can, since they're not technically HIS songs. Paul Simon was the writer and composer - Art only sang. In fact, on Sounds of Silence he sang harmony, not even lead vocals. So there's nothing wrong with him including those songs if he feels they're worthy of it. And Bridge Over Troubled Water is certainly a worthy song for consideration.

I don't care to read Art Garfunkle's list.

An uneducated opinion. Garfunkel didn't write the songs, but his voice was what made a number of those songs successful. Case in point the aforementioned Bridge Under Troubled Water.

It's not like he's the first singer to benefit from the writing and compositional talents of someone else. :roll:

I agree, while I like Paul Simon's songs, his perfomance style is too cold,too off-putting, he needed a voice that would make Simon and Garfunkel accessible...I love Simon's solo work but I always felt like I was interrupting him if I was listening to the albums. Sorry Paul, I love you..with the exception of "Graceland", Simon's solos albums never sold..."Angel Clare" and "Breakaway" always sold much better as a catalogue album (non new release) than Simon's solo albums. Of course sales don't make them better albums just more accessible. ("Rhymin' Simo" sold when new, but never sold as a catalogue album despite airplay)

Sorry telefunker your imagination is wrong. I would include only the following Garfunkel choices in my top 60:

we should play a game where I try to guess Naples' top 60. I'm sure I could get about 90% of it right.

Go ahead play your game. I'm sure you could not get 90% of it right. Remember, you only think you know everything!

Maybe Mr Garfunkel already dwells among us! anonymous, staring from the shadows with only the glowing ember of a lit cigarette delineating those unmistakeable features... across the vast emptiness of cyperspace, a mind vastly superior to own draws it's plans against us!

Duh duh dUUUHHHHhh.
