Our Pick of the Year: Graceland by Paul Simon
Graceland joined Paul Simon's songwriting with musicians and styles from South Africa and the United States. You Can Call Me Al, The Boy in the Bubble and Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes use complex rhythms without losing direct melodies. The collaboration also prompted debate about cultural exchange and the apartheid-era boycott.
