2014's Playlist: The Very Best of Simon & Garfunkel is a straight-up reissue of the legendary folk-pop duo's 1972 Greatest Hits collection, a 14-track sampler culled from their five studio albums that served as the gateway drug for millions of fans over the years. It may lack the breadth of headier anthologies like 2003's 40-track Essential Simon & Garfunkel, or the definitive Columbia Studio Recordings, 1964-1970 box set, but it presents a solid and streamlined set that's sure to please listeners both casual and devoted.
