Was Simon better without Garfunkel?

1. Different, not better. n/t

3. Agreed, different, not better.

Garfunkel added a very interesting harmony that Simon could never quite get with any other singer.

But Garfunkel would not have contributed much to many of Simon's later works.

2. There's not much difference.

It's not like Garfunkel contributed much. The S+G albums are basically Simon solo albums with a really good 2nd singer who sounds a lot like Simon. It's kind of like how George Michael was like Wham! without Andrew Ridgeley. Like, what's the difference?

4. I missed S & Gs two part harmony.

and I believe Art was always a little better singer than Paul.

But I think Paul Simon was more boundless when he went solo.

It is kind of the best of both worlds so I would say the same.
