5.0 out of 5 stars
More thorough than "Best Of...",
By JR Pinto (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Essential Simon & Garfunkel (Rm) (2CD) (Audio CD)
I considered myself a Simon and Garfunkel fan but there are songs on this album I'd never heard of before. If you only are interested in the songs that get radio play, go with The Best of Simon and Garfunkel - although the problem with that collection is that it features some live performances instead of the studio versions. To the casual listener, this two-CD collection features EVERY Simon & Garfunkel song you could possibly want - the familiar and the not-so familiar.

S&G: How amazing are these two?,
By Avid reader "realbookworm" (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Essential Simon & Garfunkel (Rm) (2CD) (Audio CD)
When this CD set came out I couldn't wait to get my hot little hands on it. It was worth every penny, and the concert in Seattle was...well, I cried, okay? There. I said it. What a wonderful evening of memories and music! This was one show you wished would go on and on. Their music is timeless and speaks of a time when we were full of hope and innocence. I highly recommend this CD set to anyone who appreciates good music, perfect harmonies and incredible songwriting. Get this CD set... you won't be sorry. And go to the show if you can!

Only if you already own their classics...,
By
This review is from: The Essential Simon & Garfunkel (Rm) (2CD) (Audio CD)
This is one *weird* CD.First of all, do not believe the other reviewers here who tell you that, for the most part, you get the original versions of the S&G songs. For the MOST part what you get are NOT the original versions of the songs. You get a lot of live versions but, what is worse, you get a whole lot (perhaps 80%) of "new" versions of the classic songs. This isn't a bad thing if you already own the S&G classics -- but if you own them, why in the heck do you want this CD? Yes, the sound quality is superb, but the two CDs here by and large sound like some sort of S&G "cover" band: a very good cover band, but nowhere near the original music. This is not the first time someone has put together a "collection" of what is supposedly their greatest hits, but it's the first time I've ever heard one with such odd reorchestrations. "Cecilia" is done at half speed, "Baby Driver" with such over orchestration it goes from being cute to pretentious, "The Only Living Boy In New York" goes from intimate to overblown. And so on. Anyone who grew up with S&G (or anyone who wants the best) needs to own "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme". These two essential S&G CDs will give you both nearly every song in this "essential" collection, but give them to you in their pristine, S&G classic sound versions. Then if you want to hear new versions of these classics by all means go ahead and buy this collection. But don't buy it thinking you're getting the essentials -- this, as Robin Williams once said, is not essence, it's pee-pee-ca-ca.
