I'm sharing a moment with my 7 month old daughter and wondering if in forty years this song will mean as much to her as it does to me now.

This is sublime -  poetic, powerful and gentle at the same time

That anyone would rate this a 1 tells us all we need to know about them...
and nothing about this song.

A little trivia:
Who were the musical guests on the second episode of Saturday Night Live?

Bruce Springsteen - The Wrestler -> Simon & Garfunkel - The Boxer
I see what you did there.

I gave it a 10 last time.....if I could give it another 10, I would.
 
Total agreement. 11 on a scale of 10.

One of the few Simon and Garfunkel songs I really like!  Maybe their music was one of those, "You had to be there things" as so many people point out in there postings...solid 8 from me.

When I was an adolescent with fantasies of martyrdom (what if I just went away, then they'd be sorry...), this was an important song. Now, it's just great to listen to. {#Smile}

A long time ago, I must've been about 8 years old, a cousin shared our home while attending university. He had a few LP records and I used to sneak a listen to them. I recall this was one of my favourites, it still is. I spoke of that with him when we met at a family wedding last year. There aren't many things that stand such a test of time. It deserves a very solid 10, absolutely no doubt about that.

The Boxer and Mrs. Robinson on the same album? Ow, it hurts!

You spelled "Beatles" and "Garfunkel" wrong. But you spelled Sucko/Barfo correctly...get a little help with them? {#Devil_pimp}
