Top Ten Songs Written by Paul Simon

Including both his work with Garfunkel and his solo career. So many incredible songs to choose from…
The Top Ten
1 America

A song everyone can appreciate!

My favourite song of all time.

2 The Sound of Silence

Easily one of the most iconic songs ever

Debut singles don't come much finer.

3 My Little Town

Every time I hear this song I just can't help but sing along.

Anyone who's lived in a small town can relate to this.

4 Bridge Over Troubled Water

The album and its title track topped both the album and single charts in both the US and the UK, simultaneously. Talk about a mega-hit!

5 Kodachrome
6 The Boxer

This is the song that made me fall in love with Paul Simon's writing. I'm only 15 years old and hearing this song for the first time as a young child I was simply amazed by his style of writing. It is impossible for me to pick my absolute favorite Paul Simon song because I just love them all. Although I think Cecilia should definitely be on this list, or at least as one of the contenders anyway.

7 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover

His lyrical skills shine prominently through in this song, keeping such a robust, ahead of time beat, with lyrics hat make sense.

8 Mrs. Robinson

Such a catchy classic that everyone sings along to.

9 Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard
10 Homeward Bound
The Contenders
11 You Can Call Me Al

My favorite by him

12 The Cool, Cool River
13 The Only Living Boy In New York

So sad for me, because it chronicles his split with Garfunkel.
