Good List. I would substitute Some Folks Lives Roll Easy for You´re Kind and move Seniorita With a Necklace of Tears to the top spot. That song and Thelma have both been sadly overlooked. (Despite the fact that Seniorita provided the name for this great site!) Thanks!

Also would put Seniorita at the top. I also Love Ten Years.

For me it would be in no particular order:

Everything About It Is a Love Song
Bernadette
Further To Fly
Thelma
The Teacher
Senorita With a Necklace of Tears
Under African Skies
Think too much A & B
Ace In The Hole
Armistice Day

And from the very early days Patterns, especially from The Paul Simon Songbook.

Really like your lists !

But for what reasons you guys are so in Love with Senorita ?

My most overlooked song of all time would be "Love".

"Thelma"...

Last Night I slept on a rented pillow...we are time zones and oceans apart...fall on your yesterday s heart...

Nice to see that "Think too much B" and "Further To Fly" are mentioned as well as "Love".

All in my top five.

"Ten Years" is the best song in the past 12 years...

Overlooked songs I think missed are

1: A Church Is Burning (Listen to the
raw power on the acoustic
Songbook)

2: Side Of A Hill (Art has covered
solo but never Paul)

3: Paranoah Blues

I´ve just discovered ´Allergies´ , which I didn´t pay much attention to in the 80s but I know the song so it must have been a reasonable hit (wiki says it missed the top 40.) I don´t understand why it isn´t included in any greatest hits compilations or Essential Paul Simon CD. I think it´s very a distinctive song, I like it.
