Paul Simon

You should listen to Paul Simon sometimes! Really beautiful music, e.g Under African skies, great song! He has a lot of great songs, I think you`ll know him?

Ciao,

1985 Brothers In Arms
1985 Born in the USA
1985 Hounds of Love
1986 Graceland
1986 So

That were great times when I learned to listen to albums instead of singles...   I remember the video clip from "You can call me Al", which was and still is very funny...

Pauls first solo album is an organic classic, highly recommended - by me!

I love Paul Simon, although his more recent solo stuff (last 20 years!) hasn't been all that great. OK, but not great.

Nice to hear that there are people around who like him to!

I made my first visit to Wembley Arena to see Paul Simon sometime in early 1990's - amazing - did music from Graceland etc.  Colourful, band comprised members from South Africa - at least 3 different types of percussion.

It seems to say "Down for maintenance" or something, but then you click on the "retry here" link and it lets you in.

I'm a little late here but I LOVE Paul Simon! He shaped my music taste. I'm a HUGE fan. If it wasn't for him, I'd still be listening to the Backstreet Boys. My favourite album is "Rhythm Of The Saints"

Oh that`s a very good song!

I like PS too, I actually bought graceland on tape back in the good old days of walkmans

I always thought that he was in the John Lennon sort of mould with the apartheid thing but was probably about 10 years before his time - he was dancing on dangerous waters when it was dangerous to sail on them.The africano style of music definately opened up another line of music to the world.

You know Paul Simon is about Jewish as they come, right?  

At first I thought I read that wrong...
