Second time in recent memory a Paul Simon album was AotD. No problem here. Bookends is another great album from one of my all-time faves. Not as good as PSR&T and BOTW. Those are just too awesome. But still the third (arguably fourth) best album from S&G is better than most artist's best.

Top 3 Tracks:

1. Mrs. Robinson
2. Save the Life of My Child
3. America

Could never get into Punky's Dilemma

Great album, probably my second favorite from Simon and Garfunkel. Top to bottom it's a great listen, book-ended (lol) by some of their best tracks. Here the duo is at the top of their game, and the stellar production of their next album is the only reason this isn't their best.

Includes their most famous song, "Mrs Robinson," and other classics such as "America", "Hazy Shade of Winter", and "At the Zoo".
