‘The Sound Of Silence’ — Simon & Garfunkel
The film “The Sound of Silence” was ranked tenth by the Ranker community. It was included on Simon & Garfunkel’s debut album, “Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M.” in 1964. It reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 in January 1966, and it also charted in Austria, Australia, the Netherlands, West Germany, and Japan. Paul Simon told NPR that the key to the song was “the simplicity of the melody and the words, which are youthful alienation.”
