Just heard this on the radio..sensational rendition of Simon and Garfunkel's 60's hit.

was in a van listening to Ken Bruce when this came on this morning - turned to Mrs Sales and said "Disturbed, on Radio 2, what the fuuuck?"

Ken likes it

saw 'em at Ozzfest in 2001, performed a cover of Tears For Fears' Shout during their set.

they've done a few covers over the years (including Genesis' Land of Confusion ffs)

S&G's best choon no doubt. Touches me to the core.

this version is too slow

I like that.

But the original is a shiver down the neck song. So beautiful and utterly timeless. It will still sound perfect in 50 years. Equally haunting is their Scarborough Fair. Chuck in Mrs Robinson and The Graduate has one of the most brilliant soundtracks ever.

This cover has been doing the rounds for months now. It's Marmite and I'm in the hate camp.

Find it hard to understand no one liking this version..it sends chills down my spine.

Better than Simon and Garfunkel's.

Much more emotion and thought put into it.

Prefer the original by a mile.

What's with all the hardware on his boat?

I'd jail the bastard for murdering the original, one of the best songs ever written.
