Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential recording:
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. --Steven Stolder

- First album I ever saw of Simon and Garfunkel
This album is the last regular album Simon and Garfunkel put together before their break-up. I received this album on cassette and then on CD. This album is better in its original format instead of the new editions with new covers and artwork (2001 edition). My uncle has this on vinyl. Bridge Over Troubled Water is a classic.

- The Greatest Pop Masterpiece Ever
How exquisite are the two most celebrated songs from 'Bridge Over Troubled Water,' Simon and Garfunkel's greatest album and worthy of a top ten list of pop/rock music. "The Boxer" and "Bridge Over Troubled Water" deserve their reputation for their hair-raising excellence. The build up, the beautiful vocals, and the orchestration are magnificent. Less heralded is the album's versatality. The exotic rhythms of "El Condor Pasa" and "Cecilia" are expert. Then, there are the quieter gems, like "Farewell ... Read More

- 5 stars implies absolute greatness. This album is not mind blowing, but...
Ok for years, (yes it's true) i haven't really liked this album. For one thing i had only heard bits and pieces, and never fully sat down, put on the headphones and just put it on. So i did that. I found it to be really good, better than i had first thought, but! but! i found it sort of...overrated. It simply isn't s and g's best, no sir. The only living boy in New York is, simply put, absolutely beautiful. It flows, and is majestic. But a live version of bye bye love is not only out of place, but truly ... Read More

- AGELESS GEM
More than three decades later this album still reveals its treasures with every listen. It's the absolute highlight of the folk-influenced or singer/songwriter genre that emerged in the 1960s. The greatness of the songs are proved by the many cover versions that they inspired: Bridge much be one of the most covered songs on earth - the versions by Aretha Franklik and Linda Clifford immediately come to mind. El Condor Pasa has exotic Andean flute and Cecilia is a naughty, uptempo song that became a dance hit ... Read More

- A Grand Finale
First of all, I must admit that I've only recently become a Simon & Garfunkel's fan . I mean,my dad has had albums by this fantastic duo since I was very little, but I only stopped to listen to them carefully in the last three years or so. However, S&G have become, little by little, one of my trully favourite bands - and obviously my favourite duo.
OK, now let's move to "Bridge Over Troubled Water", then. I've bought it less than a week ago, but it was enough to discover that it's an amazing album. I've ... Read More
