The return of 'Guilt by Association'

Billy Joel vs. the Forms: 'We Didn't Start The Fire'

Billy Joel: 1989’s “Storm Front,” on which this No. 1 song appeared, marks the career nadir for the Piano Man. This tedious, pointless song was fun to memorize. When we were nine. “JFK, blow away, what else do I have to say?” Um, were you saying something?

The Forms: Brooklyn indie rockers with a distinct sound that recalls the glory days of the Promise Ring and Dismemberment Plan—musically complicated, emotionally charged tunes you could enjoy with your new vegan girlfriend.

Who sings it better?
Both artists articulate the “Hemingway, Eichmann, ‘Stranger in a Strange Land,’
Dylan, Berlin, Bay of Pigs Invasion” part as perfectly as the next kid with Asperger's. Tie.
