My comments about Brian Wilson related to Clemente claiming that he was overrated. The staying power of his music is an argument that not only his older fans, but young people today know and love his music. Music that will be remembered as something special for generations.
Billy Joel's "music" will be forgotten within a generation. In another five or ten years they won't even play it on oldies stations.
Didn’t say he was. Jazzbos incorpoate pop tunes into their repertiore all the time. Well, NY State of Mind is a Jazz standard. What music from Joel’s generation WILL be played on Oldies stations in 10 years?
