If this were an 11 v 11 I would probably have to vote Rumours. But, with their equivalent of Messi and Ronaldo (aka the title track and Only Living Boy In New York) I would have to vote BOTW. Plus, in my opinion, S & G are the greatest harmony pairing of all time.

Better harmony pairing than the Everly Brothers? I saw a programme where Art Garfunkel's said something along the lines of they could only dream of being as good as the Everlys.

S & G were a good pairing, like a couple of nice, sweet voiced choirboys .. the Everlys on the other hand were much more aggressive and 'confident' in their approach .. comes from being family I suppose though in later life they came to loath each other .. as did S & G come to that
Rumours. It's more cohesive. There are some beautiful songs on Bridge Over Troubled Water, but Rumours is the better album - and that's the main metric here imo.
Very difficult...BOTW was always the album played when my we went back to a house for a carry out...fond memories. When I hear any track from this album I refer back to those times. As for Rumours; I saw them FM doing the Rumours tour in Kaiserslautern. It was a brilliant day with Dave Edmunds and Bob Marley and the Wailers supporting the main event. I was stoned out of my tree and near the front when I'm sure Stevie Nicks said she loved me...
So it'd a dilemma for me...A 2-2 draw and BOTW score in the last seconds in injury time but ruled out by a dodgy refs decision.
Already voted, just wanted to comment some more, I love some of the less well known tracks on BOTW , Song for the Asking , and So long Frank Lloyd Wright , are both great songs.

Was there a penalty shootout?
I'm afraid it was a league match...it would have been interesting to know the outcome if it was a cup game.
Don't remember a Dolly Parton duet with Simon and or Garfunkel, would otherwise have to agree.
The chain is at least as good as either of Bridge over troubled water or the boxer for me. Three of my favourite ever tracks (although Cecila is very close maybe controversially)
Hahaha, I've just started listening now to bridge over troubled water after it being an album my dad had and I've listened to a few times since then, got to say it's massively over produced bollocks in the main.
Oh no....I'm assuming you mean you aren't together @leuth or she has stopped her illuminating persona rather than she has died. If the latter then that's super shit.
Maybe I should have said that her dying wish was for me to get everyone to vote for Rumours in this poll. It might have even gotten as far as the Stone Roses round that way

With that fine turn of phrase, you could well be the next Paul Simon - especially as it's very difficult to get this particular image you portray out of one's mind.
My first major purchase after starting work in 1970 was a beautiful Dynatron Hi Fi system. True stereophonic sound was a revelation to me. To hear music clearly and be able to distinguish each instrument was just sublime. To use the vernacular of the time ‘It sent me man’.
Once I’d almost worn out Led Zep 2, I started to collect a more eclectic range of music, but mostly from the rock and blues genre. BOTW was also released in 1970 and quickly became part of my rapidly expanding collection.
I thought it was beautiful, and it received many plays on the Dynatron (having first been cleansed with the antistatic cloth, fluff removed from stylus and armchair moved equidistant between speakers.) Of course when some time later Rumours came out, that too became a much loved part of my collection.
Two fabulous albums, but for the sheer classy impact, brought into a tiny living room somewhere on the Downham council estate, it has to be BOTW.

Fairly easy choice for me.
Ahhh don't sit on the fence, sit on the bridge.

It's the same old story.
Everywhere I go I get slandered, libelled etc etc, it's the same old story.....
Very tough. Rumours pips it today, tomorrow might be different.

When Pete Green left they became too commercial and lacked that rawness for me.
Although I hate the title track.
