Billy Joel has never made a single song that didn't make me want to snap off the radio as soon as I heard the first opening notes.
Same thing with Springsteen with the exception of maybe one tune. You gotta be an east coast Vinnie to like either performer. I think they both suck.
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again:

Lord, at last someone I can agree with. Could never figure the interest in these two. Maybe we are just two twisted souls.
Me, too. I have never been able to figure out the popularity of either performer. Pretentious, vulgar, and cliche, both of them.
To be honest, I did like Billy Joel’s “tribute to doo-wop” period, but only because he was not writing in his own style, but in a Sha-Na-Na pastiche.
You have to be a real person to write real music — which is why Texas is the greatest music state.
You got it! If not for Jann Wenner of Rolling Stone mag fame this dude would be singing in Holiday Inn lounges. Who needs a Four Seasons imitator? Frankie Valli, by the way, has a new album out. I'll take Neil Diamond over this guy any day, and Marshall Crenshaw is really the unappreciated master of the pop rock genre..
