(To answer the OP).
Karl Martin Sandberg
The biggest most famous songs over the past two decades or so, are essentially Karl Martin Sandberg "covers".

And I would also say Ben Folds.

In my view, there are legions of musicians far more worthy of contempt than Billy Joel.

Let's be clear about one thing: Fantasies & Delusions wasn't "Billy Joel's last album". It was an album of classical compositions that he wrote. He doesn't even play on it.
That's like saying this is the last or latest album by Bach.

Exactly, although a better analogy would be if that Chris Gaines album was the last thing Garth Brooks put out.

Re: Question : Who Would Be The Billy Joel Of This Day And Age?
I know, and I'm not arguing that, necessarily, but the "The Entertainer", which I love, was written in 1974, long before he had been ripped off by his brother-in-law. Perhaps it was a reaction to the producer who screwed up his debut album, Cold Spring Harbor (which I like a lot), and had Joel locked into paying royalties for years thereafter.
