Simon and Garfunkel's original? -

They sound pretty much the same, but which one is the best version of this beautiful song from the film Almost Famous?

Brilliant song. Simon & Garfunkel, but First Aid Kit's version is, as always, beautiful. And their video is very cool as well.0

Original....the girls were a bit off key and Im not keen on them both singing together.....they sound better on solos0

You've missed the best version (at least for old prog rock fans like me!)1 -
This was one of my favourite songs at the time, so S & G from here.
Having had a proper listen now to the FAK one, that certainly has its moments, but for some songs it's the version that you grow up with that always hooks you.0 -
That's a relief. There are more than two versions. I thought I was going to be obliged to take @i_b_b_o_r_g to task on the use of best in the thread title. Now I don't have to.Bangkokaddick said:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-062j9dafg

I like First Aid Kit a lot but their version does not beat the original0
