This is a hard question. All and all, I would have to say that Paul Simon is my favorite songwriter/musician.

I've always loved his first album (with Art). Bridge Over Troubled Water is a great song. I Know What I Know or The Boy in the Bubble from Graceland. Spirit Voices is probably one of his most underrated songs.

Another noble thing he did was introduce Bakithi Khumalo's bass playing to the world. That guy is amazing!
