Don't Ask Me Why is a 6 - I love Billy Joel to pieces, but he has a lot of songs like this that are perfectly pleasant but not among his best.

Billy Joel – Don't Ask Me Why: 4
Billy Joel is equally capable of great songs and of bad ones. This one, with it's vague tropical element is especially tacky.

The irony of the user named stone37 is that they actually had exclusively soft rock. This time however, they support a real Chad. And Jeremy too. The song is bubblin’ under like a stone on AM.

Chad & Jeremy – A Summer Song: 7
Even without any lyrics I feel that "A Summer Song" would have been the only logical title. It may not be a work of staggering originality, but it definitely delivers what it promises.

Mariah Carey – If It’s Over: 3
There are few songs that shout as loudly: "LISTEN TO MY VOCAL POWERS AND BE IMPRESSED!"
And shout she does. This is vocal acrobatics as empty posturing. There is no sense of Carey ever being part of the song. I can't ease into her emotions. For me this is nothing more than some random person shouting to me that it's over, but actually takes four minutes and thirty seven seconds before it is over, which is more than I can take.

Re: Biggest Fan Songs - 2nd Edition: 301 - 400
And now we are ready to give everyone their sixth song on Biggest Fan. Musicman is first and he has one of those songs that, although it’s not a shock it didn’t land on any other lists, I could also have imagined making a few more. It’s one of those tracks I seem to have always known. I never new it was a cover of a song that had been recorded by many artists before, but Paul Young seems to have had the biggest hit with it, especially in Europe. It actually was #1 in my home country at the time. With critics though, it just bubbles under.
