0376. Simon & Garfunkel
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel (repeat after me: Garfunkel, not Garfunkle) had gained massive amounts of attention due to their single (and subsequent album) Sounds Of Silence and with this follow-up they maybe didn't reach the same level of "whoa!" as Sounds..., but still is a great album. (A bit of confusion may be added by that the song Homeward Bound also appeared on the British release of Sound Of Silence but not on the Brit-release of this album).
From the medieval beginnings in dual-track Scarborough Fair / Canticle to the (also dual) 7 O'Clock News / Silent Night (where the Christmas hymn is interlaced with the horrors of the 7 o'clock news) it's an album that firmly stands its ground today.

The only track knocking the album out of the timeless frame is The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy) with it's massively overt sixties' tone and lyrics (yes, even though other songs references hippies, this one falls as "groovy" had a very, very narrow span of serious usefulness).
Also the fuzzed-out A Simple Desultory Philippic (Or How I Was Robert McNamara'd Into Submission) is a bit of a confuser, as it veers off from the otherwise soft harmonies, but the Dylan namedropping parody is quite fun to listen to.
