He's like #8 tops.
Music Buzz A new Slate article attempts to dissect why Billy Joel is “the worst pop singer ever,” leading others to chime in on why (or why not) Piano Man sucks. Don't think that everyone on Long Island won't find your home address, haterz. When it comes to BJ, they will stop at nothing.

Billy Joel - We Didn't Start The Fire
He's like #8 tops.
Go figure that Slate's knee-jerk contrarianism would evolve into preemptive contrarianism. Joel's crappy music since the mid-80's is so so bad that it obscures the fact that he actually made a few good records. Klosterman's essay is awesome. Plus Billy Joel cut his musical teeth in a cheezy prog-metal band. That alone should be enough to earn some Hall & Oates-level hipster love. Next time you're at a party and some douche DJ plays “Maneater”, ask him to play “Sometimes A Fantasy”. Plus, if you can't feel nostalgic listening to “My Life” and remembering the opening credits to “Bosom Buddies”, then you don't have a heart.
Billy Joel gave an early morning drunken rant at my college graduation. His advice was, “Do what you love, and love what you do.” He went on to remind us that we really shouldn't be listening to him anyways, cuz he didn't graduate himself.
Didn't Chuck Klosterman defend Billy Joel's relevance like eight years ago?
