It was written by Paul Simon, so theirs is the original.

That's the reason I gave the caveat. Most people, that I share my opinion about this cover with, think that the original is better than Disturbed's cover. Maybe I'm just that easily influenced by commercialization of covers or whatever, but I do like Disturbed's cover more. Not significantly more or anything, I just think the difference in style in the original and the cover is not really comparable (like the canard of comparing apples and oranges), and I happen to like the cover more, without actually comparing them directly myself.

BTW, thanks for clearing up that Simon & Garfunkel's version is the original.

Just a difference in opinion. It's all good. Cool
