[tonyfromalnwick]

For them that like the Boxer, there's an extra verse they never used but Joan Baez sings it in her cover of the song.

Ooooooh. Nivver knew that.
1/ The Only Living Boy In New York.
2/ The Only Living Boy In New Cross.
3/ The Only Living Boy In New Silksworth.

That scene in the fillum he directed where the kid from scrubs looks down from the hill with The Only Living Boy In New York on in the background is amazing. I had a similar weird experience on Tunstall Hills the day I decided to move south. Watching it in cinema was weird.

He also sang different lyrics in the central park come back

Sound of Silence
majestic

The first one

 

[JonMc]

A Hazy Shade of Winter

I love the song but I thought The Bangles did it better. That killer riff needs electricity not acousticility.

Anyone who doesn’t have bridge over troubled water as their top choice is merely being pedantic or awkward for the sake of it.

Bridge over Troubled Water
Scarborough Fair
Homeward Bound

 

[Conyers falchion]

There are so many brilliant lyrics in their songs. Not easy to narrow it down to a top three, the list keeps changing every time I think about it, but the lines I think are the most evocative and wonderful are from ‘Mrs Robinson’:

‘Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?
Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you’

Sound of Silence
Homeward Bound
America

And about another dozen I could put in my top three.

 

[Conyers falchion]

And then there’s ‘Cecilia’. When I learned that St Cecilia is the patron saint of music, this song just exploded in my head.

 

[Henners61]

Not top 3 but for 40 years I loved (and still do) this Northern Soul classic

Only to discover last year

Every day is a school day

 

[The Red Telephone]

1.The Sound of Silence
2.Bridge Over Troubled Water
3.Seven O'Clock News/Silent Night

Did you leap up and down with your knickers in the air?

I can’t do 3. I have to do 4.
The order is irrelevant because it will change all the time for me.

Popular with a lot of my friends parents who'll all be about 80 now.

I had to look that up! As has already been said on this thread, every day’s a school day. What power the SMB has to spread enlightenment.

Quite possibly, I even like a few Fields of the Nephilim tracks.

The Boxer
Late in the Evening
The Only Living Boy in New York

At first I put Me and Julio instead of TOLBINY then realised it was Paul Simon solo. Tough to choose though, so many brilliant songs. Probably be a different set tomorrow!
