Paul Simon (and Garfunkel)

[0bleak]

little known fact, and they will deny it up and down, but the hardcore/jungle tom and jerry took their name from the s&g's earlier pairing when they went under the name tom & jerry as a pop/doo-wop duo

 

[Benny Bunter]

I absolutely love bridge over troubled water, the song, the huge drama of it - see also the righteous brothers' big songs, he ain't heavy he's my brother by the Hollies, the sun ain't gonna shine anymore by the walker brothers - what else in this vein?

 

[Benny Bunter]

Roy Orbison running scared

 

[Benny Bunter]

Never actually heard Graceland apart from the singles. Simon and garfunkle were great though, I love it all.

 

[luka]

[Benny Bunter]

Love the mamas and the papas!

What did Peter Paul and Mary sing?

Paul goes reggae.

 

[0bleak]

first time i was sent to the loony bin, i met someone in there that would always play this (still friends with her to this day)

 

[0bleak]

Love the mamas and the papas!

What did Peter Paul and Mary sing?

- one of many you'd probably recognize

 

[Benny Bunter]

Yeah whiter shade of pale is exactly the sort of thing I had in mind, brilliant.

 

[0bleak]

tell me if I'm getting too off-genre as far as stuff in a similar vein, but this was my grandfather's (mom's side) favorite song


he always had tons of records and 45s sitting around all over the place...

 

[IdleRich]

As Luka said it's parent music

"I am a rock"

These are as familiar to me as the sky itself

Yeah this is it, must be true for a lot of people

 

[IdleRich]

Love the mamas and the papas!

What did Peter Paul and Mary sing?

Puff the Magic Dragon

 

[IdleRich]

I can never remember which is Nights In White Satin and which is Whiter Shade of Pale - and I doubt you can either.

 

[0bleak]

Puff the Magic Dragon

damn it, i was trying not to scare him off

 

[0bleak]

Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam has to be one of the most interesting characters
releasing all the folk-pop stuff and then dropping what would be one of the first electro-funk b-boy tunes in 77 (I'm sure he wasn't thinking of it like that though)

 

[sus]

the sun ain't gonna shine anymore by the walker brother

You've Lost That Loving Feeling
