If not for Barbara Streisand’s timely cover of ‘NY State of Mind’ he may actually have been dropped from Columbia records.

Just another reason to hate Babs.

Seriously, if you want to admit that Billy Joel's music is a guilty pleasure of yours, I can go along with that. We all have guilty pleasures. He is not however, a musical genius.

There’s nothing guilty about it. Joel is a melodic genius. Even his critics admit it. Look over his list of hits and you’d be shocked by how many you can hum. Benny Anderson is a melodic genius as well. So is Andrew Lloyd Webber among various other unhip personae.
