OT: Flour Bluff: New version of "Sound of Silence" released

[westx]

Flour Bluff, I recall on a previous thread you had mentioned that Simon and Garfunkel's "Sound of Silence" was one of the best songs ever written (I totally agree). I had re-watched the movie The Graduate a few months back which caused me to watch pretty much every version of the song "Sound of Silence" on youtube. Well, today on the radio, I heard a recently released version of the song by the group Disturbed. The dude has a very good voice, but, it gets a little shouty at towards the end. Please don't report me to the authorities for desecration but, I liked it.

I think he got a lotta feeling in the song, he does a damn descent job on it, but, I like you know that there will never be one that can touch S&G's version cause we lived that period when it 1st came out...and it tore the hell outa the record charts and still is played all over the world..S&G's harmony is what makes that song unique and can't be duplicated...

I'm with ya, FBH. I could listen to that song (and most of S&G's songs) non-stop. Not sure if we're the same age, but I identified with Benjamin Braddock in 1967 and we all lusted after Katherine Ross.

That is a spectacular cover. He kind of yells it at the end but it's great
