Best Paul Simon Album
I have to buy a gift for someone and they requested a Paul Simon CD minus Art. What would be a good choice in your opinion?

1. I have two options for you...
Graceland and Songs from the Capeman.

Both are "sans Art" and IMHO are great albums.

Good luck!

6. There Goes Rhymin' Simon
I find Graceland just too darn middlebrow and contrived. Maybe not the album's fault, but because it sure got overplayed back in the day. It's kind of armchair traveller music. Foreign, but not too foreign.
