How anybody could deny that Paul Simon is a folk singer (I'm not denying his folk-rocker status as well) after listening to ANY Simon & Garfunkel album is beyond me.....

I'm actually fairly convinced that Simon & Garfunkel are as close to punk as they are folk. I mean, check out "Patterns" or something.
