There’s an embarrassment of riches – there’s no room for ‘You Can Call Me Al’, ‘Kodachrome’, ‘Me and Julio Down By The Schoolyard’, or anything from the Grammy-winning Still Crazy After All These Years. While Simon has released music slowly since 1975’s Still Crazy After All These Years, there’s still more than 50 years of solo music to draw from, from 1965’s The Paul Simon Songbook to 2017’s Stranger to Stranger. This list only covers Simon’s work as a solo artist. He’s also covered a lot of musical ground – his early work is grounded in folk, but he explored textures and styles from Jamaica, South Africa, and Latin America. From Simon and Garfunkel songs like ‘America’ and ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’ to solo songs like ‘American Tune’ and ‘Graceland’, his songs capture both the American zeitgeist and his own personal journey. Paul Simon’s songs are part of the American landscape, a thoughtful man documenting his inner dialogue in popular song.
