 | Bee-Lee, I agree with all those choices. Those are indeed extremely awesome but underrated songs. |

 | Also agree with these choices, but Kathy`s song (on surely more than 20 million copies of S&G`s Greatest Hits), The Only Living Boy In New York (on about 15 million copies of BOTW) and American Tune (Rolling stone`s song of the year 1973, sung by Simon at the inauguration of Bill Clinton, chosen by the organisators and sung by Simon at the Statue of Liberty-200 (?) years-festival in the 80`s) are surely not underrated.
All three are on the S&G DVD.
Something So Right had a great cover done by Annie Lennox (she is good alone and also was former singer of the duo Eurythmics) |

| Hm, guess the Statue of Liberty wasn`t built when the US had about 4 million inhabitants and were part of the British Empire. Must habe been 100, now about 120 years Old. |

| How nice you French people are! But it was also a late triumph over Britain, which took North America instead of you before 1789... |

| Correction again to myself: of course Simon sang American Tune at the inauguration of Jimmy Carter in 1976 or 1977.
As time goes by... |

| I´ve always loved American Tune but Eva cassidy singing it has changed it into a twee little pop song |

 | one of my ´rocker´ friends surprised me one day when he said that this was in his top ten all-time albums - being the rocker that he is, i was totally knocked out that he actually listened to the album, let alone it being in his top ten |

| Klausi - I guess you´re right to a certain extent about American Tune, Kathy´s Song and The Only Living Boy, but they aren´t really top-tier Paul Simon songs in popularity. Just because they showed up on popular albums don´t make them automatic hits. You don´t buy a box of cereal for the box, it´s just something that comes along with it. Geez now I´m hungry for cereal. |
