James Vincent McMorrow - If I Had A Boat
What a voice does this Irish dude have.. His album Early In The Morning is out since the beginning of this year on Vagrant Records. If I Had A Boat was apparently chosen as Best Irish Song by The Guardian in December 2010. Not into this foly stuff? Maybe Star Slinger's remix is your cup of tea.

Simon & Garfunkel - Scarborough Fair
First hearing this one in the 1967 movie The Graduate made me wanted to hear more of the soundtrack that accompanied the film. The two Americans started making music together on highschool in New York and after a short pause they got famous for The Sound Of Silence featured in The Graduate.
