Excellent choice. I dont know if you know or listen to "Desert Island Discs" but a recent castaway chose this song by "Disturbed" which is also surprisingly good.

Seriously, I was literally listening to silence. The song was a metaphor. I did see the Disturbed version when I was searching for the "original", it is a brilliant arrangement.

I thought you were being metaphorical however it’s used as a meme when people are depressed so I wasn’t sure if that was what you meant. “Hello darkness my old friend”

It’s extraordinary to me that everyone I knew at school ran out and got that album when it came out, me included. I love every track and if Spotify shuffles it it just sounds wrong.

It saddens me that Simon couldn’t cope with the fame that came to Garfunkel when he was the writer. Jealousy is a terrible thing.

Wasn't that the point of 10cc - they were all professional musicians and songwriters who wanted a bigger cut from their efforts.
