The lyrics are, for me, what really sets their music apart from others of that era. Simon and Garfunkel's emergence coincided with the countercultural movement which grew during the second half of the 60s and the messages within their songs refelected the disaffection of many of the young people of that time. Among my favourite films is The Graduate and one of the main reasons for this is the use of "The Sound of Silence" and "Mrs Robinson" to perfectly verbalise Benjamin Braddock's thoughts and feelings.
When it comes to the Mick Jagger, I'm more of an admirer of his longevity than a fan of his music. Whilst it's true the Rolling Stones were a major influence on 60s culture, many of their earliest songs were re-workings of old American Blues music so their main contribution was to introduce that style of music to the UK. The Beatles, on the other hand, played a major role in introducing British 60s culture to the rest of the world by being at the forefront of the 'British Invasion'.
