What is the most underrated Simon and Garfunkel song?

I'm a fairly new fan of Simon & Garfunkel (although I've known their big hits like "Sound of Silence" and "Mrs. Robinson" for years), and I'm just starting to listen to their complete collection. I want to know what song to pay close attention to that I would otherwise skim through during the course of my listening.

I have a couple suggestions for you, as someone who really discovered Simon & Garfunkel big-time back in 1999-ish.

1. "Homeward Bound" - I have to recommend this anthems to you because of its uplifting and uptempo feel, and wonderful beat.

2. "I Am a Rock" - Also a really powerful anthem, but more for the angry bitter soul. When I'm mad at the world this song gets cranked on my IPod. Love it.

3. "The Boxer" - No real emotional connection to this song, it's just plain catchy.

4. "Scarborough Fair" - Now HERE is a song you absolutely have to develop a taste for, but it really is brilliant once you pull it apart and appreciate it. One voice sings the old childrens nursery rhyme "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme" while the other sings an anti-war song called "Canticle". The pairing of the two melodies is poetic and beautiful. You won't rock out to this song, but it's a very special musical work.

SO WHICH OF THESE IS THE MOST UNDERRATED?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm going with "I Am a Rock" for its ability to guide me through those really angry days and allowing me to vent some real emotion. A wonderful, catchy song. And it never gets much attention because it isn't especially poetic or innovative...and wasn't ever featured on American Idol roll. ;)

Try Old Friends/bookends I like this song. It makes you think. Plus it was not real popular. But it is a great song.

"For Emily, Wherever I May Find Her". I don't remeber which album it was on but it is a beautiful solo by Garfunkel.

"Bridge Over Troubled Water" is a classic. Don't skip this song.
