Billy Joel has sold over 150 million records, produced thirty-three
Top-40 hits, received six Grammy Awards, and been inducted into the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Fans celebrate him, critics deride him,
and scholars have all but ignored him. This first-of-its-kind
collection of essays on the music of Billy Joel offers close
analysis and careful insight into the ways his work has impacted
popular music during the last fifty years. Using a diversity of
approaches, including those not traditionally found within popular
musicological studies, this volume serves as a model for how any
scholar can approach the study of popular music, regardless of
their methodological leanings. These chapters interrogate how
popular music frames personal and collective experiences,
participates in the construction of history and culture, and
invites us to reflect on its importance in our daily lives.
