Re: The Billy Joel Thread
My 10 biggest problems with that dogshit list.
10. A Room of Our Own is a great nod to McCartney-style Beatles music.
9. Running on Ice should be way higher. That song is awesome. It's also one of like, three songs on The Bridge that doesn't totally fucking suck.
8. Tomorrow is Today is also fucking awesome, should be higher.
7. Blonde Over Blue is one of the best big hooks BJ ever wrote. His vocal work on the chorus is probably my favorite of any of his vocal works.
6. All About Soul is a sweet, kick ass song. The remix is even better. For shame on this list maker. For shame.
5. Easy Money sucks, and is worse than pretty much every song on this list.
4. Don't Ask Me Why is a classic, one of BJ's best.
3. Downeaster Alexa is so good, and the listmaker tries to criticize it without actually doing it.
2. You're Only Human blows, and Through the Long Night should have taken its place.
1. All for Leyna is at 50 instead of like 5. Fucking moron.
Stray observations...
1. I would have had Sometimes a Fantasy higher, but that's fine I guess.
2. This guy liked Streetlife Serenade. A lot. A lot more than anyone ever ever ever should.
3. I like Keeping the Faith a lot more than he does, but even I admit it is cheesy as shit.
4. He's totally right about BJ should have kept the helicopters at the beginning out of Goodnight Saigon, or at least cut them WAY down.
5. James sucks. Every song I said was good on my list should have jumped it. Dumb.
6. It was nice to see Close to the Borderline on so high.
7. I'd never heard Nobody Knows me But Me until today. Meh.
8. Big Man on Mulberry Street is shit city. Should have been in the 100's, not the 30's.
9. I kinda get where he's coming from with Summer, Highland Falls but he has it way too low still. It's a top 20 song at worst, should have been higher than 27.
10. Holy shit, he really liked Streetlife Serenade way more than any human being on the planet.
11. Captain Jack is awesome, but his critcisms aren't entirely baseless.
12. Stiletto might be the only perfectly placed song on this entire list.
13. This is the Time is also awesome. Props for having it where it basically deserves to be.
14. OH MY GOD, STOP WITH THE STREETLIFE SERENADE SHIT. I know there's another one coming...I just know it...
15. Yup, there it is. At least Say Goodbye to Hollywood is awesome.
16. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAh All My Life is fucking horrible AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAFhSEiofghsdioghwsgiohgweigwekgjhweh iowjhklhjrioijgihaioaha
17. The writer forced me to laugh so hard I had a stroke on #16. I think I'm going to sue.
18. Leave a Tender Moment Alone is WAAAAAYYYYYYY too high. Good song, but Jesus Christ.
19. I Don't Want to Be Alone is a little too high, but forgivably so. Awesome song. Just awesome.
20. VIENNA SHOULD BE # GODDAMN 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
21. I like the TV sound at the beginning of Sleeping With the Television On, but I can see not liking it.
22. Only the Good Die Young is too high, but it deserves to be top 10 so whatever.
23. I can accept Scenes being higher than Vienna...but that doesn't make it right.
