Good vocalists, bad material (lyrics, singer, funk, pop, favorite song)

Wuhuu! Joshua Tree is fantastic. Whats your favorite song (if you have one)?

There's one I missed out. Great singer, as you say, not such a huge fan of his work though.

One Tree Hill is pure bliss - one of the best songs I've ever heard. It's pretty much a flawless album to be honest (in my opinion of course).

Really loved that song he did for Wall-E though.

I also confess to liking Collins era Genesis.

Well I can forgive you for that, when you have such appallingly bad taste I guess there's nothing you can do about it.

I like Home By the Sea.

Despite being a big fan of S&G, I've not heard much of Garfunkel's solo career - sounds like that's a good thing...
