11 of the Worst, Billy Joel

Much as I hate Billy Joel, I'll give him credit -- his ballads aren't terrible. He's a decent composer, his voice is tolerable when he's just crooning and not belting, and the lyrics on his slower numbers are forgivable, or at least forgettable ("what's a 'tonic and gin?' Oh, well, whatever . . ."). But since he can't rock, anything at a faster tempo than "Allentown" is like bamboo under your fingernails. Even Billy hates "We Didn't Start the Fire." Who am I to argue with him?
