It can't be any worse than in the New York radio market where it is virtually impossible to get in your car, tune into the local classic rock station and NOT hear Billy Joel. Even if you are going 3 blocks. They call him "The Franchise" for Pete's sake.

 
Is it still true today? I grew up in NY and throughout the '70s into the early '80s I heard Billy Joel constantly on the radio - more than The Eagles even - since he was a "local boy".

The local "classic rock" FM which sucked has morphed into something like "classic hits from the 70s and 80s" and while they play some really awesome stuff, this also means it's a goddam Billy Joel Revival around here.

The Eagles were just too bland to me to inspire hatred or even be able to record "the worst song".  They had some good, well-crafted songs but they were just a generic, soulless offering to me - like vanilla sheet-cake.  What was most annoying about them was that their music was essentially inescapable for a long time, and still is to some extent.  It was "corporate rock" before people started using that term (which was originally in reference to aberrations like Journey, Styx, and Kansas).

That probably explains it, although I do appreciate their harmonies on their version.
