He does an article on over rated $h!tty music and doesnt even think to do it about Pink Floyd. I should take this guy seriously?
“Maggie May” was released in
July of 1971....
I’m lukewarm on Billy Joel, some stuff OK, some stuff change the station. But, the guy did pull Christy Brinkley, and that’s a whole ton more than we can say for some POS writer/music critic that no one has ever heard of.
Billy Joel - Uptown Girl

I am not sure what to make of at 2:10 and 2:34
Do New Jersey guys wear cutoff shirts?
#40 The concert was so bad they tore down Shea Stadium? : )
...and next week he will probably telling us that U2 was the greatest band ever and that they changed his life. Twit.
Or, with the possibility
of getting flamed, what
would the author think
of Eddy Money? I’ll take
Billy Joel....
:)
And he was knocking socks with Elle MacPerson and Christie Brinkley.
Respect
Wow. Is that song (Maggie May) really that old?
I thought I recalled hearing in in 74, the same summer Issac Hayes came out with ‘Shaft’. Maybe I wasn’t really paying attention in 71, still being in grade school and all.
Piano Man update:
It’s twelve am at the Javits
And the tears have started to fall
She needs three states to pull it out
And she is behind in them all
They cried, “Please, can you give us a miracle
Please please let her pull ahead”
But no miracle comes. There’s no no victory speech
And they get Podesta instead.
LOL LOL LOL, LOL LOL LOL
LOL LOL, LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
Thanks for the tears, girls and girly men
Thanks for the pain and fright
When I’m in the mood for some comedy
I YouTube “Election Night”
I liked a lot of his earlier stuff. Kind of got stale to me after about Glass Houses.
Nobody has mentioned “Say Goodbye to Hollywood” one of his earlier ‘hits’ that I particularly liked.
The Stranger was probably his best and most complete thought-out and performed album. The zenith of his creative output in my opinion.
I was 16 and was impressed
by a wide array of genre
playing on the radio.
Led Zeppelin, Cream, the
Doors, Janice Joplin, Jimmy
Hendrix, Doby Grey, Elton
John, The Greatful Dead,
Joanie Mitchel, Linda
Rondstat, Michael Nesmith,
The Beatles, Iron Butterfly,
The Jackson 5, Stepenwolf,
The Hollies. We had a lot
to listen to back then.
Each of them had something
I listen to to this day. But
there are some of their
songs I don’t listen to.
I like Rod Stewart’s Maggie
May and associate that song
with one of my youthful
first loves.
Their penchant for writing hugely popular and saccharine sweet top 40 type songs is what makes them akin to the Monkees.
This is so stupid.
Only thing that comes to mind about Billy is how he latched onto Christie Brinkley and Katie Lee. Christy didn’t need the money. Katie was a good looking 22 year old nobody back in 2004 so I see how that went down.
OMG, I have a personal benchmark of trying to switch stations on XM when a Pearl Jam tune comes on when I’m listening to Lithium station in the least amount of notes. I’ve gotten to the point where I can “feel a disturbance in the force” sometimes due to the ripple in reality caused by Vetters whiney pretentiousness and catch it before it occurs...
You must be an alien.
When did you land?
Must not have been to
long ago if you’re
listening to Pearl Jam.
