It's 1971, the President is definitly not Jimmy Carter and Billy Joel's first album, "Cold Spring Harbor" has dropped. If you thought it would take a while to get to a hit in this series, you're wrong—it's just not the recording you know.

Not unlike Star Trek's original pilot, ours should probably be skipped. But, if you want to know why we're doing this podcast and which songs we'd sing on Billy Joel night of American Idol, this is the episode for you.

(But seriously, maybe you should start at episode two, and then come back to this one.)

Sometimes jokes go on too long, and sometimes they become a podcast. Join us on the journey through Billy Joel's entire catalog!
