Graceland (Expanded)
1.  Graceland (Expanded) by Paul Simon
The list author says:
  "The *masterpiece*. The title track was built from an african drum beat, has a country feel, talks about Elvis' home and America, love and universal redemption, backed with the Everly Bros. Alleluia !"
Used & New from: CDN$ 8.99

There Goes Rhymin' Simon
2.  There Goes Rhymin' Simon by Paul Simon
The list author says:
  "Timeless classic from 1973. Fantastic collaborations, melodies and atmospheres (New Orleans) + the unusual hits (Loves Me Like A Rock, backed by a gospel quartet). Surprised he's done Graceland ?"
Used & New from: CDN$ 10.23
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (17 customer reviews)

Paul Simon (Expanded)
3.  Paul Simon (Expanded) by Paul Simon
The list author says:
  "A very strong album, with his best as a guitarist. Here, a few immersions into exotic sounds (Me and Julio, Mother and Child Reunion), amazing songs (Duncan), and even Grappelli is on board"
Used & New from: CDN$ 8.99

Rhythm of the Saints (Expand)
4.  Rhythm of the Saints (Expand) by Paul Simon
The list author says:
  "Superb album, based on brasilian drums and West African guitars. Dreamy lyrics. A must-have, unfortunately now completely in the shadows of Graceland"
Used & New from: CDN$ 8.99
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (61 customer reviews)

Still Crazy After All These..
5.  Still Crazy After All These.. by Paul Simon
The list author says:
  "Thirthysomething Simon still expands his horizons, with strings and horns. A few classics (title track and 50 Ways) have emerged from this 1975 'romantic disillusionment' based-album"
Used & New from: CDN$ 8.99
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (20 customer reviews)

So Beautiful or So What
6.  So Beautiful or So What by Paul Simon
The list author says:
  "Produced by Phil Ramone. Spiritual album. Almost each track has sounds and style-fusion treasures, with a few catchy tunes in the lot"
CDN$ 12.99   Used & New from: CDN$ 8.56
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (8 customer reviews)

You're the One
7.  You're the One by Paul Simon
The list author says:
  "The 'comeback' album from 2000, constructed with 3 master drummers and guitars, with North African influences. Inventive + good grooves. Low-key, well-underrated and unknown to the mortal man"
Used & New from: CDN$ 10.70

Songs from..Capeman (Expand)
8.  Songs from..Capeman (Expand) by Paul Simon
The list author says:
  "Biggest flop from Simon. Still, his most ambitious musical effort: '50 and doo-wop sounds he has always loved + carribean influences. Unusual in music and subject-matter. Caution !"
Used & New from: CDN$ 8.99

Surprise
9.  Surprise by Paul Simon
The list author says:
  "Simon collaborated with Brian Eno here, to explore another galaxy. Unfortunately, it sounds mostly cerebral, labored and without many catchy melodies. But it has several brilliant moments"
Used & New from: CDN$ 7.22
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (2 customer reviews)

Hearts and Bones (Expanded)
10.  Hearts and Bones (Expanded) by Paul Simon
The list author says:
  "For the most part, this 1983 album now sounds dated (which is unusual in Simon's case), and not that well-recorded. His best effort lyrically"
Used & New from: CDN$ 8.99
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (1 customer review)

One Trick Pony (Expanded)
11.  One Trick Pony (Expanded) by Paul Simon
The list author says:
  "The soundtrack of a forgotten movie Simon made in 1980. Famoulsy known for its hit Late in the Evening, but the rest is now devoted to hard-core fans"
Used & New from: CDN$ 19.95
