    They have 7 Grammys, sold over 100 million records & are in the Rock and Roll hall of fame. They are both 83 years old now. They are legends, known for their harmony. When Disturb is long forgotten, these guys will still be one of the greatest duos in history.

    Met Art Garfunkel in 1965 when I was around 10. Took guitar lessons with a my friend Lou Pearlman.His parents invited me over dinner & told me to bring my guitar. When I arrived Lou introduced me to his cousin Art. I had NO IDEA who he was. I believe they had recently released their first album. We played some guitar & he signed an autograph for me that I still have. Lou went on to form the Backstreet Boys and NSYNC.

    Paul Simon is one of the greatest American songwriters. You can't study American music and not study Paul Simon. He and Art Garfunkle made a formidable folk duo in the '60s and '70s. Garfunkle sings the high harmonies, Simon plays guitar, writes the songs, and sings the lower harmony. Yes, their version of The Sound of Silence is much faster than Disturbed's cover, but they were going for different feels. A common description of the difference between the 2 versions is that the original is a warning, and Disturbed's cover represents anger that the warning wasn't heeded.

    Here's the special thing about art... you don't have to choose a favorite or least favorite. You can love what you love without ranking them. Music, Movies, Books, TV Shows, Architecture, Sculptures... all of these things coexist. Having one does not diminish the others, and vice versa. I know its popular with modern internet click-bait, but don't feel obligated to rank things you enjoy. It can all just be "your jam." 😁 I can't tell you how many times I'll be at a restaurant, or a doctor's office, or a grocery store and a song comes over the radio and I say, out loud, "That's my jam!!"

    It must be a generational thing. I grew up with Simon and Garfunkel, and we studied the lyrics of "The Sound Of Silence" when I was in high school. I tried to watch the version of this song by Disturbed, but I just couldn't get through it as it came across to me as a commercialized bastardization of the incredibly meaningful original song written by Mr. Paul Simon. Again, I'm from a different generation--meaning matters to me.

    Subscribed. Great performance and reaction! This is one of my favorites of theirs, and there are many great covers. If you would like to explore more, may I suggest a reaction to BABYMETAL. They are unique and have a worldwide fan base (The One). Their music has a positive and uplifting message. They have a fun and awesome performance:
    BABYMETAL - PA PA YA!! (feat. F.HERO) (OFFICIAL)
    Or:
    MAYA【Live Blu-ray/DVD「BABYMETAL BEGINS - THE OTHER ONE -」"BLACK NIGHT"】 🖖 ❤
