One track of theirs leaked out on a comp called "In the Beginning" (EMI) which featured William Joel 9that Billy thing is just showbiz!) with his band doing "Night After Day". It's a bit morose in that "I'm young but take me seriously, dagnabbit!" vein, but I'd rather that than "The Longest Time". Other tracks of interest were Jeff Lynne in Idle Race ("Skeleton Roundabout") Davy Jones (Bowie) and the Lower Third ("You've Got a Habit of Leaving"). >How about Billy Joel's band the Hassles?

Maybe yes, maybe no. My folks had pretty dismal taste in music, but they loved Broadway shows, and I still love to listen to 'West Side Story', 'Camelot', 'The Pajama Game', and others. Some artists I have turned my kids (now age 13 & 21) onto over the last ten years: Fountains of Wayne They Might Be Giants The Chieftans The Feelies The Ramones (easy one) Jimi Hendrix Shadows of Knight Miles Davis (!) Yma Sumac (!!) Beatles (probably would have happened without me). Some artists I have failed to turn them onto: Rolling Stones Hank Williams Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys Bob Dylan (except "Subterranean Homesick Blues") Any kind of Blues (Delta, Chicago, etc) And to be fair, stuff my kids have turned me onto: Nirvana (they really were great) Weezer (my fave band of the last 5 years) Oasis (they *don't* sound like the Beatles. They don't). and if I weren't so old and cranky, there'd probably be some more...
