Ahem..

>>122580027
i judged him too harshly before. now that i dont hear his music anymore on the radio, i like it. i listened to his greatest hits recently and it rocked. dude knows his way around a chord
>>
I like him.
>>
Matter of trust is a fucking airtight song

For the longest time is a wildly impressive production as well
>>
He's a bald fag who makes shitty music
>>
makes my pussy wet

I've never heard a Billy Joel album, but I consider him a good artist from the songs I have heard. His new song (this year or last year, I don't recall) is good too.

he said boomercore not pedocore
>>
>>122580027
Nice songwriting but not something I’d put on voluntarily
>>
I honestly love him. I thrifted The Stranger on vinyl and it's one of my favorite records I own.
>>
>>122580027
That's Peter Gabriel
>>
>>122581723

why
>>
>>122580027
I really don't understand why did he sold so many records
Was he jsut too american for my brain to grasp? Because unlike other stuff like Michael Jackson, it sems Billy Joel sold millions of records in USA, but he was a literal who outside of USA
He was the Garth Brooks of the 70's and 80's
>>
>>122581800
Look at a picture of Peter Gabriel and then this picture of Billy Joel
>>
>>122581856

okay now what
>>
he's extremely skilled at assembling a pop song although the end result is invariably soulless
>>
>>122581842
i do t think thats true at all. he did some giant concert in russia or something back in the 80s. i think he was pretty popular worldwide, or at least had quite a few international hits
>>
MAMA IF THATS FUCKIN UP THEN I'M
FUCKIN OUT

Check out Attila - 1970. he sounds like Jon Lord, Keith Emerson, Rick Wakeman with distinctive Billy Joel elements, a 1970 prog rock duo. Billy Joel sings like Gillan plays like Lord just him and the drummer, Small. Joel's metal album. At least one song is cringe.

70s soft rock like this is still making a ton of money live, selling out MSG all the time.
>>
i like him. the stranger is one my favorite records
>>
>>122580027
He's a great compositional mind
He knows how to write a song with a beginning middle and end. Even when I don't particularly like the song I can acknowledge it's well written [such as "Rosalinda's Eyes"]
He'll start somewhere, develop it, and the conclude

He writes plenty of shit too but.. Idk he's definitely talented. That's what you get when your frontman is a pianist; he's jot just singing the song or playing guitar he IS the song.

I like Billy Joel a lot.
>>
>>122580027
>plays sold out arenas constantly
>never subjects his audience to shit new songs his elderly brain sharts out
>only plays the beloved hits
he's honestly based
every boomer musician should be like him
>>
>>122580027
I don't find it useful to think of him at all.
>>
bump
>>
Better than Springsteen.
