Simon and Garfunkel have very beautiful songs including “Sound of Silence” and “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” ♫ Like a bridge over troubled water…♫ ♫ I will lay me down…♫ ♫ Hello darkness, my old friend…♫ I'm totally off-key. ♫The sound of silence…♫ |
| “The Grateful Dead.” Fans of the Grateful Dead are sometimes referred to as “Deadheads.” Everyone has heard of the Grateful Dead and some of their popular songs include “Touch of Grey” and “Truckin.” |

| “Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.” Known for their four-hour-long concerts, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band is one of the most memorable shows you can see. Some songs you may know from them are “Dancing in the Dark” and “Born in the USA.” |
