Don't Ask Me Why-we got the Billy Joel tourney!!

[SAT-I need more room!!]

I thought the subject line was pretty funny since I'm not big on Billy. This is a suggestion from Kitty. I don't hate Billy, and I certainly like him more than Kitty's last suggestion (Costello).

I'm kinda like Pete is on him. Just don't think he's that great-but he's got some good songs.

I remember in Mad Magazine they had a thing where they said nerds listen to Billy Joel when they wanna "get crazy". That pretty much sums up how I feel about Billy. ;D


I should note this is our first 32 song tourney since February!

Ooh, I'm glad I didn't miss the beginning of this tourney for the "drunk one". I'm actually not the biggest Joel fan in the world either. But two of his albums (The Stranger and 52nd Street) are some of the best of the 20th century IMO. His stuff post 85 I could take or leave.
