The Zookeeper is Very Fond of Rum

I just bought "The Best of Simon and Garfunkel" I have to say listening to it is wonderful. While I have plenty of CD's that I enjoy few stand out. This is one. At one point I'd hoped to be completist with Simon and Garfunkel and buy all 5 of their studio albums. I think that this will hold me for awhile.
"Simon and Garfunkel's Greatest Hits" was really a meager offering with 14 songs but "The Best of ..." boasts 20 songs. S & G's last two albums - "Bookends" and "Bridge Over Troubled Water" are both very well represented. (Greatest Hits only had Mrs. Robinson, Bookends and America from Bookends. At the zoo and Fakin' it were left out.)
I suppose I would have liked "Richard Cory" or "Leaves that are Green" from Sounds of Silence or "Big Bright Green Pleasure Machine" (even if it's an advertisement for some sort of chemical enjoyment) from Parsley Sage Rosemary and Thyme or Wednesday Morning at 3AM or the acoustic "Sounds of Silence" from their first album. But there's a lot here and it represents Simon's songwriting and together their vocal skills.
Oh and until about April 12, it's only $8.99 at your local Target store (at least in the Balto/DC area.)
