As everyone else has said, it's really difficult to pick just one GL song. I've liked everything he's done for longer than I care to remember, but perhaps my 'favorite' would be the one that means the most to me.
While I love the music, I've found that it's the lyrics of a song that usually 'hook' me. That and the timing.
Just as Simon & Garfunkels "Sounds of Silence" came out I was suffering from a (Thankfully) temporary bout of deafness. GL's "Don Quixote" came out in the 70's while I was in the Army and the line "See the Soldier with his gun who must be dead to be admired" has stayed with me ever since.
I'm just thankful that the world has had a wordsmith of GL's caliber and that I was lucky enough to go along for the ride!
