Which version do you like the best of The Sound of Silence?

For .me it's absolutely Five Finger Death Punch. I heard the song a thousand times probably and thought it was stupid. I never knew what the song was about until I heard FFDP' do there version .

FFDP ?

Disturbed's version was so unexpectedly good that I am partial to hearing it, but the Original is, what it is, a "Masterpiece," in song writing.

@goodlil666 😂 No worries. I played the Disturbed version over and over when I first heard it and told just about everyone I knew about it. I saw Draiman interviewed about it and it was cool how he and Simon talked about the Disturbed version.

Just wanted to make sure the right band got the credit.

@ninjavu Right, no doubt . I can't believe I was that hammered.

It is such a a powerful song it was meant to be sung with attitude and emotion.

What was Simon's take on Disturbed' s version?
