I want to thank @sweating-cobwebs for all the love that was put into this... again! The complex relationship of these two men - and their love of each other - is given back tenfold with this (now) 5-series project. Please watch! <3

Yes to all of this.

Wednesday Morning is amazing in terms of harmonies, I love how easily you can hear both their parts in every song. I spent an ungodly amount of hours listening to them when I first found S&G as a kid btw, in case you were wondering.

Bleecker Street - Simon & Garfunkel

Hyperfixated on Artie singing the lower harmony and Paul singing the higher harmony… except for in the first line of each verse - where Artie sings higher and Paul sings lower- then they switch off for the remainder of the verse. Gorgeous!!!

I think anyone can guess mine lol

I always choose PSRT because it's probably the one I'm most attached to emotionally speaking, but here's the thing: all of them is my favorite, and for each I can explain why. Yup, I'm crazy like that.

Anyway, vote away!

Studio album only. Not including The Graduate soundtrack, compilation albums, live albums, or watching The Concert In Central Park which is just the best thing ever…

Well, of course my favorite is PSRT - obvious, much? 😜

Anyway, why?

Well, I love them all equally tbh, but PSRT holds a special place in my heart. It feels like early Autumn days, a soft breeze that's not too cold, cozy moments in at night but still bright days to spend outside... it's a feeling, you know? It's a liminal album. And I'm a liminal being. So I love it.
