The Blazer’s Edge Best Things Ever Tournament continues today! For those needing an update, each day we post two polls asking you to choose between two nice things. These will be assembled into a March Madness style bracket, leading to elimination rounds in which one candidate will remain as the Best Thing Ever for 2026. It’s our way of filling the dead space of NBA late-summer while keeping our regular coverage intact!
This post pits Billy Joel against Coffee Shops.
Billy Joel was the soundtrack for
a generation with his catchy, multi-instrumented, tight-lyrical pop songs. “My Life” and “Just the Way You Are” hit a touchstone in human relationships. The iconic “Piano Man” remains one half of one of the most popular internet soundtracks today.
Coffee Shops are everywhere, though. From the behemoth Starbucks to the mom-and-pop shop down the street, these neighborhood gathering places dispense sugar and caffeine, keeping America running at $7 a pop.
