I was going to stick his top tracks on spiffy earlier but looking I realised I more or less knew them all and they were all indeed pretty anodyne. I remember having the single Movie' Out and liking the b side (Vienna) but really there are much better singer songwriters to listen to.“Movin’ Out” is passable. The fact that we are quibbling over two pretty trivial pieces of art should say a lot about him. Anyway, he’ll never be forgiven for the musical sin of “Just The Way You Are” among many other god-awful songs (add fucking “Innocent Man” to the list of songs he should be — ironically — jailed for).
He got rich; Randy Newman didn’t. There is no justice in this world.
Tempting as it is I won't nominate a Smiths album, I suspect most people's minds are already made up about them but perhaps @BlueHammer85 could revive his top 1100 thread and fix it for us to review the Queen is DeadWhen are we going to get a Smiths album to review?
(Just to change the subject from Billy fucking Joel)
There is a lot of Tap here. Tap was a satire on many bands other than KISS but the parallels are pretty clear. My favo(u)rite comedy of all time. I have a friend, a single woman who I used to work with, who told me once that she fundamentally judges the suitability of men based on whether or not they like that film, figuring those who don’t will never be right for her and her sense of humo(u)r.I prefer Spinal Tap.
Does she ask them to smell the glove? And if they DO, literally smell a glove, then they're not right for her...?There is a lot of Tap here.

I . . . don’t think so. But if you don’t laugh out loud at the scene where Derek Smalls gets stuck in the pod during “Rock ‘n’ Roll Creation” then she should quite rightly have nothing to do with them.Does she ask them to smell the glove?
