You know you feel about opera? That’s how I feel about Billy Joel. I now put a moratorium on that terrible “song.”
To quote Adam Bomb, “I jaunt my heavy metal.”
I hear ya, Dana, but in the words of the Piano Man – “It’s Still Rock And Roll To Me!” 😉
Just like steak, it maybe be “steak,” but certain cuts are above others. 😉
Sirloin steak is my favorite. Great, now you made me hungry again! 😉
LOL!! For me, it’s filet mignon, it has be soft like butter.
Ooh, I love that too! Hey, don’t forget back in the day when Tipper Gore was on the warpath against our music and our way of life, Billy Joel was a trooper for us! He stood up for hard rock and heavy metal and stood against censorship. And honestly, out of all of BJ’s songs, “Fire” is probably one of my least favorites, but it just sticks in your frigging head, just like that frigging song by Right Said Fred! 😉 LOL!!!
Well, that’s nice that he stood up for our genre, but when it comes his music, I sit down. 🙂
Billy Joel is one of the greatest artists of the 20th Century. Not crazy about some of his material; “Piano Man” included, but I marvel at what a great writer he is; how he writes very precise lyrics that still cast this very wide net…his music does that too…his stuff that’s good is the best there is.
Again, to each their own, but I have never liked Joel, nor Springsteen (the Jersey version of Joel). Joel is the 80’s/’90s version of Doo Wop, and I am no fan of Doo Wop, again, it is what appeals to your ear.
I love the Beatles, and Eddie is not really a fan. Again, it’s his opinion, and what appeals to his taste.
Lyrics mean nothing to me, melody does. That is why I never got Bob Dylan, either.
D 🙂
Dana, Dana, Dana…Dana! Lol….Where do I start? Ok…here, Joel has one Doo Wop record out of …ten? Springsteen is the Jersey version of Joel? At least you didn’t compare him to Elton John, but Joel doesn’t sound like Springsteen, that’s a different sound altogether…Joel is more sophisticated musically than Springsteen is, Joel has this very strong Classical element that runs through everything; not to mention all that latent prog stuff that crops up here and there sometimes… his Doo Wop stuff is composed like a classical piece, (all good Doo Wop is). Then you go in and kick Dylan in the shins (that band I don’t like but those are nice guys with a nice manager)…lol…Dylan’s sound is closer to Springsteen’s but then you say you never cared about lyrics, which is this categorical statement…lol….you sure? How ’bout we make this a hypothetical and say sometimes you care….Dana! I need a quiet lie down. (At least we agree on the Beatles) 🙂
One Doo Wap album? What do you call that cheesy Uptown Girl? River of Dreams?, etc? He may as well have been a member of the Four Seasons. I don’t care for him, what can you do?
As for him not being like Springsteen, I see some similarities.
Regarding, Elton John, I am not really a fan of his either, but I do really like Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting. In my opinion, it’s his best song.
Sometimes in the middle of the night, I go walking in my sleep as well. “Keeping The Faith” (one of my Joel faves) explains his reasons for the doo-wop album – An Innocent Man. A really great album.
Oh that’s it, Keeping’ The Faith, not River of Dreams. My mother was given that album and she played that song the time, it’s basically Doo Wop.
River Of Dreams was from ’93, best song on that album (IMO) – All About Soul. An Innocent Man was from ’83, it was brilliant the way BJ put Keeping The Faith as the last song on the album to sum it up. It was perfect.
I just looked it up, and I was surprisingly correct, it was the title track of River of Dreams that sounds like doo wop.
Correct, “The River Of Dreams” is from the album River Of Dreams. The song is a mix of pop rock, gospel, and a little bit of doo-wop as well. IMO, it’s all good, especially when it comes from an artist like Billy Joel. An Innocent Man is mostly doo-wop, or as I like to call it, “doo-wop rock!” 🙂
Yep, not my thang, but to each their own. 🙂
The last part of Keeping The Faith:
– Now I told you my reasons
For the whole revival
Now I’m going outside to have
An ice cold beer in the shade
I’m going to listen to my 45’s
Ain’t it wonderful to be alive
When the rock ‘n’ roll plays
Yeah
When the memory stays
Yeah
I’m Keeping The Faith
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Keeping The Faith
Oh yes I am
Do wop Billy Joel, would be “Longest Time” from “Innocent Man.”
I’m not ashamed to say I like Mr Joel, but never liked “River Of Dreams”, and I really have to be in mood for it, because I am a metal head at heart.
On a side note, because of that bad storm in jersey, I lost power. It also fried my dvr and I lost the episode with Halford on “Ride with Reedus.” Now, I have to watch and sit through the commercials on demand.
Charles,
That’s right I forgot about the Longest Time, there’s another one, oy-LOL!
Where do you live in New Jersey? Sorry about that storm knocking out your power, and erasing your episode of Halford on Reedus’ show. But, I feel your pain, I don’t have a DVR, so I am forced to watch it On Demand, as well. You know what’s odd? Some On Demand channels allow you to fast forward through the commercials, and others, no such luck.
D 🙂
“The Longest Time” is as good as acapella gets!
Interestingly, “An Innocent Man” is a concept album of sorts, where he pays tribute to the music he listened to as a kid. Each song is in a distinct style, (even if it sounds all the same to someone that’s not familiar with the music). One song pays tribute to stuff from Jersey like Frankie Valli, one track pays tribute to Smokey Robinson, one track pays tribute to Ben E. King… etc. etc. It’d be like a modern day metal band having one track in honor of NWBHM like Maiden, one track in honor of 80’s LA metal like Van Halen, one track in honor of blues metal like Zeppelin etc. etc.
I get it it’s not your taste, but artistically, it’s brilliant.
I know, my tastes tend to be controversial, and I am inclined to buck the system quite a lot, by finding many uber popular artists/bands, unappealing. It’s not a conscious choice to be a non conformist, nor a contrarian, it’s just my taste.
I remember once someone called me a music elitist, and I could not stop laughing, because hard rock, and heavy metal, is as far from being hoity-toity, as it comes. I understood what he was implying, but perhaps, a better description would be, inflexible. However, I choose to think of it as being discerning. 🙂
D 🙂
I live in Kearny right near Newark spent a lot time at Studio one. My dad grew up in Newark and hung around with that Frankie Vallie crowd. four seasons Elvis and the Beatles were my first exposure to music as a kid
I went to Studio One once to see L.A. Guns, but since I lived in Brooklyn about 10-15 minutes by car from L’Amour, I practically lived at that club.
Also, since I dated someone from Maplewood, I always ask what part of NJ people are from, if they happen to mention they live in the State.
Alright! Another Four Seasons fan! Rock on, Charles! 😉
