Top 10 Most Beautiful Simon and Garfunkel Songs

The Top Ten
1 Bridge Over Troubled Water

Artie's original version set the standard, and numerous covers were done of this phenomenal song. All were good, they could not help but be good, given the source material, though Artie's was still the best. Then in 2013, Jackie Evancho performed it for the charity event "One Drop", along with the Cirque Du Soleil troupe. Paul, if you're reading this, you need to see how well your song turned out!

I was hoping this would take the crown. It's such a beautiful song. I never took any notice of the lyrics until recently. Now I hear it in a whole new light. Thank you to the lovely person who opened my ears to such a special song. You know who you are...

Jackie Evancho's version was sung in 2013 at "One Night for ONE DROP", Cirque du Soleil founder Gil Laliberté's charity for bringing fresh, clean water to all. All other Cirque shows in Las Vegas were dark that Friday nigh in support of this. A fitting song. Jackie was the only vocalist chosen for the show.

Like every cover she has sung, Jackie Evancho took this song to new heights.. don't miss watching her exquisite rendition from Cirque du Soleil's April 2013 One Drop charity event for World Water Day..

2 The Boxer

The lyrics give me goosebumps... My 2nd most favourite song.

1st being The Boxer cover, by Mumford and Sons.

3 The Sound of Silence
4 Homeward Bound
5 Scarborough Fair / Canticle
6 Mrs. Robinson
7 I Am a Rock
8 The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)

I listen to this every morning.

9 America

I love hearing this song when I'm driving on the New Jersey Turnpike at nighttime, it just fits the mood so well. It always brings a smile to my face!

This is my all time favorite song and it started out as being #2 on the list. Now I don't understand as to why it's at #8.

The lyrics are to die for
