Editorial Review:
No one can say Simon & Garfunkel went out with a whimper. The popular duo's 1970 swan song produced four hit singles and won six Grammy awards, including Record, Album, and Song of the Year. An involving mix of sweeping epics ("The Boxer," the title track) and breezy throwaways (a live cover of the Everly Brothers' "Bye Bye Love," the rock & roll trifle "Baby Driver"), Bridge was one of the most popular albums of its era. What's particularly striking about this collection is how brightly lesser-acclaimed songs like "So Long Frank Lloyd Wright" and the gorgeous "The Only Living Boy in New York" shine. (The 2001 reissue adds a pair of demos to the original work, including the traditional "Feuilles-O.")--Steven Stolder

Bridge over Troubled Water is just one of those albums that just feels so damn complete. One after another, this album boasts quite some variety, especiallly considering that this album is folk based. Folk based just has that natural, organic sound, and variety in that is just great. Nick Drake knew that, and it seems that Simon And Garfunkel know that as well. Plus, the music on this record is just dang good, period. Not just an acoustic guitar and a guy moaning, there is a variety of sounds ... Read More
Rating: - fine album--BRAVO, SIMON AND GARFUNKEL !!!
Bridge Over Troubled Water is an outstanding, classic rock album from Simon and Garfunkel. These guys knew music and they played and sang so well that they remain very famous even after their split so many years ago. The sound quality is excellent and the artwork is very thoughtfully done.
The CD starts with the title track, "Bridge Over Troubled Water." They sing this beautifully and there is such a soothing quality to this rock ballad that you just can't resist it! "Bridge Over Troubled ... Read More
Rating: - OVERRATED? ONLY IF YOU'VE LOST YER MIND ! (this album deserved all five Grammy Awards, and lives up to it's stellar reputation)
There are those who will tell you that Simon And Garfunkel's Bridge Over Troubled Water (1970) is "overrated", but I don't see it that way at all. The album contains two undeniable masterpieces, Bridge Over Troubled Water and The Boxer. Both songs are songwriting monuments, beautiful and significant, and the vocal performance and production on both is flawless. Bridge Over Troubled Water could quite possibly be the greatest song ever written. With an impressively gorgeous melody and inspiring lyrics that ... Read More
Rating: - BLOWN AWAY
This is the first Simon & Garfunkel album/cd I have ever bought...wow! What a GREAT one to start with! I can't stop listening to it..I have subsequently purchased more cds and dvd concerts! I am a huge fan now...Ihave ALWAYS liked Paul Simon..didn't realize the enormous impact he has had on music..but now I see it...forget their "greatest hits" compilations...even if you have NEVER bought an S&G cd..this is the one to start with! awesome
Rating: - my song, for the asking
This masterful album can only be called succulent. And that's just to start with. The adjectives need to wax ever stronger in order adequately to describe the movement from one classic piece to the next in this eleven-track celebration of some of the 1970s finest music.
Like Seinfeld for the ears, Simon and Garfunkel's music generates many of the lyrics and observations that are engraved upon the brains of us who grew up in that era and which spring almost unconsciously to the lips when circumstances ... Read More
