Notes

The Boxer is one of Paul Simon's great compositions, with the incredibly hard story of the main character as a boxer or fighter. It's interesting that Simon had no lyrics to write for the chorus, so he inserted the "lie la lie" which has become a most recognizable and easy to sing along with section.

Honorable mentions from Simon and Garfunkel are - Bridge Over Troubled Water, Sounds of Silence, Mrs. Robinson.
