Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme is the third studio album by American music duo Simon and Garfunkel, and the first where they spent serious time in the studio preparing and recording. The hits are of course well known, but there are no fillers on the album, every song is worthwhile, often with fascinating lyrics. A personal favourite is For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her, although the live version used on later compilation albums is even stronger.
