Does Billy Joel Belong in the Hall of Fame?

Kodos · 07-29-2014, 01:37 PM

I've been downloading from his yearly releases as I bought several on eBay. The foundation he laid is unbelievable. Should he be in the hall for contributions to music?

I know you're being a troll but he is in the hall of fame Billy Joel: inducted in 1999 | The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum

Double-fail, when you count that I missed that this is a parody thread.

Being a troll seems a bit harsh.

Just doing a parody thread after yesterday's parody fest.

He never got a ring. For all the stats he may have acquired in the regular season, I just don't know how you can say a man who couldn't win in the playoffs deserves a spot in the hall.

Anybody could have put up the kind of sales he did with the lineup of producers he had.

More like the Hall of Suck

Young Drachma · 07-29-2014, 08:12 PM

No question. Listen to his episode on Alec Baldwin's podcast "Here's the Thing" and you realize how many damn songs he put out. I mean, it's such a unique niche. It'd be like Ben Folds if he had a different voice and wrote better pop songs as a star. It's improbable and completely ridiculous and yet, it worked for so long.

Oh this is a parody thread. Oh well. The podcast is still quality.

Troll was being a bit harsh given the clear parody intent. Considering OT - What makes me hate Billy Joel? - Front Office Football Central it felt like an apt word (if harsh).

Kodos · 07-30-2014, 09:53 AM

I don't know why I go to extremes.

JediKooter · 07-30-2014, 09:59 AM

Well, we didn't start the fire.

Kodos · 07-30-2014, 10:02 AM

And so it goes ... (with the inevitable song references!)

JediKooter · 07-30-2014, 10:05 AM

I am an innocent man.

Autumn · 07-30-2014, 01:18 PM

I thought this thread was legit. You let me down, Kodos, it was a matter of trust.
