#1168 Simon and Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water

Oh Simon and Garfunkel, why do you seduce me the way you do. I don't like folk, generally don't give a fuck about lyrics, and find myself disinclined to listen to you at any given moment. And yet! This is so damned pretty, the vocals impossibly sweet, the backing understated and lush, those melodies! Those harmonies! And then you have something like The Boxer, where I find myself listening to and even enjoying the lyrics despite myself, and I end up smiling all album long without even realizing it, without knowing why. Damn you! 4/5
