Yes some great songwriting talent there!! I grew up with it, my dad would play it on the outside speakers all summer long so when I hear a S&G song it reminds me of summers past , cruising in his '68 GTO and good times.

Ahh, yes, they are great!
I love "Dust in the wind", mainly because Will Ferrell does a hilarious cover on it in the motion picture "Old School", during the funeral of the old man "Blue", who died of pure excitement some 80 years old when he mud wrestled two naked girls in their 20's Kiss

I think they're okay. I don't like them too much but that's just because I don't like that kind of music to start with.

Scarborough Fair is not bad, but the rest of the music is boring.

I said yes, because I like them, but their music hasn't aged as well as most bands from that era. Even a group as far out there as America (Alligator lizards in the air?) has held up decent while S/G seems almost incomprehensible.
