10? he is top one of one for me, for a continuous body of exemplary work no one touches him. What was McCartney doing in '85 when Graceland came out? 'The Mississippi river was shining like a National guitar. ' is all you need to know for performance i offer this as evidence this Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

What was Simon doing in the years when McCartney was doing something better? No need to try to slam one great artist to praise another. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

Might I remind Tipsters that the documentary about the making of Bridge - called, I think, The Harmony Game - is possibly the finest music doc ever made? Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

I reckon Bridge Over Troubled Waters would come above any Beatles song in a global "favourite all time song" chart. I'm not criticising The Beatles but to my ears, "Bridge" is a different class and yes, I AM thinking of "Let It Be" (and God knows why Macca always seems to be doing "Hey Jude" these days ... it's not a BAD number but I think "Penny Lane" is stronger ...)

I don't think there has ever been a greater song written than "Bridge over troubled waters"

I doubt Macca would disagree.

....and on another note no one can sing that song like Art. No one should even try. Art's performance of Bridge on the night of September 11, 2001 was possibly the most powerful moment I've ever seen in music.
