Too easy - does anyone else know the extra lyrics Paul Simon added to the Boxer and on what album (does anyone remember those?) it was on? Only my second day taking these quiizzes and feel slighted - are the standing based on percentage

This was great! I love Simon & Garfunkel and even though I missed two questions I really enjoyed the information included with each answer. Fun and educational. Good work!

I voted BQE!! Thanks for helping me sing their beautiful music in my head! I only got A-, but I'm not disappointed; El Condor Pasa I didn't know at all, and The Boxer not well enough. But all the others--ahhhh! Thanks again.

MIYYUUUU58: "Now the years are rolling by me, they are rocking evenly; and I am older than I once was, and younger than I'll be - that's not unusual. No it isn't strange, after changes upon changes, we are more or less the same; after changes, we are more or less the same." No clue about the album though, but I do remember being surprised when unknown lyrics started coming out of their mouths....

It's funny, I knew the lyrics and was singing along as my 19 yr old son looked on and laughed. But I did not do so well with the titles. Only got 8/13. Now I'm depressed... LOL

6/13 Thank goodnes. I'd heve been worried if I'd done any better. Definitely not my cup of tea music wise.

Wow! what great songwriters they were. We rarely hear such beautiful lyrics these days.

my largest frustration with the very talented mr simon is his 'flexibiility' around the ownership and copyright of songs. I have personal knowledge of at least one transgression, have heard suggestions of others and can only wonder - how much do you have to own?

Yep, a great quiz - especially coz I finally scored 13 . Maybe a little bit easy, but it's good to get an A+ occasionally.
