Simon and Garfunkel - Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme (1966)
Simon and Garfunkel were the greatest duo in music history. Their ability to create melodic rock is wonderful. A true sense of what folk rock should be.this is what made s&g the true crafters of precision they were. Happy music
with a message. No one can tell a story in such a way as s&g. On P,SR,&T every song is worthy of note. But Patterns, Cloudy, Homeward Bound all describe life in such poetic terms. The Big Bright Green Pleasure Machine, 59th Street Bridge Song, A Simple Desultory Phlippic all create a happy humorous look at the times. I especially love the cracks on Mick Jagger and Bob Dylan. But the best is 7 o'clock News/Silent Night. A combination of silent night with all the bad things going on in the world.
