Correction: YOU Suck

[JustSteve]

You do know Tom is one of the older ones here, right? I am sure he is well aware since he grew up during the times you speak of...

Which makes his commentary even more retarded.

[santasutt]

WTF Tom. S an G - Cool pop moments? Do you have any notion of the the history of this duo and their influence in folk rock, the political movement in the 60s and pop culture overall? Please.

Without denying Simon and Garfunkel their due in the pantheon of folk-rock, they are the Toronto Blue Jays to the Bob Dylan Yankees.

And I hate the Yankees and everything they stand for.

My comments aren't about comparison to any other artist. It's just about being honest and integral in the assessment of great writing and music.

Your hero worship is nice and all, but you have confused myth with reality. S&G were not on the level of the Beatles or Stones or Janis. Who did they influence? Billy Joel?

Fair enough.

For the record, Graceland ranks up there with Rhymin' Simon's best stuff. Tom would do well to re visit.

If anything Bob Dylan takes his place over the Beatles, and I love the Paul Simon.

Like I said to santasutt - it wasn't about comparison to another artist. But to reduce their contribution to music as "cool pop moments" is ridiculous.

[stinkbutt]

I don't care whether or not we have had this conversation or not, this band

[RotationSlimWang]

I'll take Simon And Garfunkel material out of the equation entirely and the motherfucker is STILL better than The Clash or whatever the fuck you were beating off to in your angry young man days.

Graceland has only 5 1/2 good songs on it, and those songs are so fucking good they house just about every other album ever made. Are you really going to sit there with a straight face (except for the sagging, of course) and try and tell me that there is anything not perfect about The Boy In The Bubble or Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes?

[roberto73]

C'mon, Tom. Everybody knows "You Can Call Me Al" is better than "London Calling." I mean, the video had Chevy Chase in it!

[RotationSlimWang]

... "London Calling" really isn't the track worth referencing on that album if you're going to try to make the shitty rigged point you're trying to make.

[TomAz]

C'mon, Tom. Everybody knows "You Can Call Me Al" is better than "London Calling." I mean, the video had Chevy Chase in it!

the dramatic tension created by the juxtaposition of the very tall Chase and the very short Simon is sheer genius.

Careful, there. If you do this, you diminish the quality of the body Simon's work considerably.

I mean, you've got to account for Songs from The Capeman.

Just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just listen to me
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free

[JustSteve]

i think my 3 year old made a rhyme like that the other day.

[TomAz]

You just gotta leave, Steve.

[PlayaDelWes]

If I could frame this in my office, I would.

[TomAz]

Don't make a big mess, Wes

[Hannahrain]

This should be good.

[PlayaDelWes]

Should I stay and bang your mom, Tom?

[TomAz]

My mom's quite dead, Fred.

[TomAz]

Go suck a banana, Hannah.

[Hannahrain]

D+.

[TomAz]

No need to be snide, Clyde.

[HotHamWater]

Hannah won't be your date to the prom, Tom.



(what?)

[Hannahrain]

No need to be snide, Clyde.

Grade's only passing because of the potassium, you assium.

[TomAz]

You're no Paul Simon, Hymen.

[JustSteve]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh shit, the wit, I need to sit, Kit.

edit: There's you name.
