Paul Simon - Graceland (Top 500 Countdown Update)

I think I was the only person in 1986 who didn't like this album. The sound for some reason doesn't appeal to me and none of the songs really grab me like a lot of Simons other stuff. He does an excellent job of blending the mbaqanga sound into a pop format and I'll give him credit for that, but the songs seem flat and stale to me and just doesn't seem as true as his earlier work.
