The first is very nice. Like the pan flutes.

Second doesn’t work.

Disturbed makes this song 'rock' if that is possible. Outstanding. You can see the first one on most street corners here in San Diego. Dull at best.

Loved the Pan Flute version. I have many Pan Flute albums but none with that song. As IDguy said, the second version - not so much.

Thanks for sharing.

I'll still go with the original by S&G.

The second version, by Disturbed, did a fantastic job of conveying the emotion and meaning of Paul Simon's words. I think Simon would heartily approve. This visuals didn't work for me, however.

Nice. When you start with a good song, you can pretty much count on getting good results.

The Disturbed version is huge out in the west and southwest.

I read somewhere that Simon or Garfunkle do approve of Disturbed's version.

Here's what David Draimen (lead singer) thought of his version of the song

Very good, what I hate is the side short cuts that takes me to videos of everything from cute puppies, baby goats, to Britain has got Talent, to Susan Boyle. I spent a few hours watching a lot of those videos and it
took me away from the Forum and I really enjoy it, some times it's lots of fun to be distracted, there is a lot of talent out there. I watched about 4 hours of videos and enjoyed every minute of it.
