Bridge over Troubled Water — 1970
Simon & Garfunkel
Released 1970Folk & Singer-Songwriter
Classic
Their final and biggest album, balancing the soaring title hymn with lighter, worldlier songs. Immaculately produced and hugely popular. A perfect send-off. Later output that justifies the journey through the back catalogue.
On vinyl: Both originals and reissues can sound excellent — the mastering matters more than the era.
