I want to hear this record, too!
"Rising from the ashes of Billy Joel's Long Island-based rock & roll band the Hassles, Attila was an embarrassingly discordant duo that also featured the Hassles' Jon Small. Described by Joel at the time as "psychedelic bullshit," their self-titled debut album came out in 1970. A critical and commercial disaster, it featured Joel on a heavily distorted B-3 organ, with an Attila the Hun theme that included Joel and Small's appearance on the cover dressed as Huns. The album's lack of success virtually guaranteed that there would not be another Attila project; the group's demise was also sealed when Joel began an affair with Small's wife, Elizabeth, whom he eventually married."
The Attila album can (for now) be downloaded from here.
Have not downloaded it yet, myself.

53I'm not sure if I've posted this before, but "Piano Man," in addition to being one shitty, shitty song, is one of the most underhandedly arrogant songs of all time.
Last verse:
It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see
To forget about life for a while
And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say, man, what are you doin' here?
That Billy Joel, always so humble. "Man, what are you doin' here"? Are you fucking kidding me? You think you're that fucking great, asshole?
And I haven't even mentioned "Scenes From An Italian Restaurant." My God, that song might be the worst song of all time.
Fuck you, Jelly Bowl. You snort smegma, and, in an unprecedented feat, are an unforgivable insult to rock and roll and Broadway.

Life...life...I know it's got its ups and downs.

54I grew up on Long Island and man just love it when people ask me where I'm from and I say "New York" and they ask, "where in New York?" and I say "Long Island" and they go "Oh Lawn GUYland!" and give me that fucking smirk. LOVE it! I love it because it reminds me that I'll never be that big of an asshole.
I mean, I understand the antipathy towards the place. Hell, I live 3000 miles away from it now. When I visit my sisters I'm there for a day before I head into 'the city'. In high school nobody was into punk. I grew up feeling like a misfit and couldn't wait to get out.
But seriously, fuck you with this 'Lawn GUYland' shit.
As for BJ, he has his moments.

56His Glass Houses album contains some of the first music I ever heard and I found it on Vinyl for a dollar a few years back. Might give it a spin sometime soon. And yeah, of course he's an asshole.
