2. Billy Joel Billy Joel is a noted history buff, which is why he wrote the most famous historical epic in rock history: "We Didn't Start the Fire," the amazing saga of world history between the years of 1949 and 1989. Still, despite having written all you need to know about those 40 years in one amazing pop song, there's still a lot more human history to cover. I know, I was shocked when I found that out too.

That's why my idea is for a weekly show hosted by Joel, evaluating each year's most important events each week starting from the year one. I don't know what was going on during the year one, and I don't really care, but as long as Joel injects the trademark enthusiasm he employed on lines like "trouble in the Suez" and especially "Chubby Checker, Psycho, Belgians in the Congo" in the original song, this is guaranteed to be a hit.

1. The Tallest Man on Earth Okay, this is going to sound really meta, but the Tallest Man on Earth is, in my opinion, the closest thing we have to a modern-day Bob Dylan. Literally, because his voice sounds so much like Dylan in his Freewheelin' days, it scares me. So what I'm thinking is a real deal Dylan biopic, none of that I'm Not There weirdness, with the Swedish folkie taking on the Dylan role.

He's got the voice for it, and the hair can be worked on. Most importantly, what era of Dylan's career would it focus on? As interesting as the '60s were, it feels played out. I'm thinking two eras instead.

Number one, 1978's swaggering Dylan in leisure suits playing jazzed-up Vegas-style versions of his tracks, the fat Elvis-era Dylan, followed by a mid-film transition to 1979's "You Gotta Serve Somebody" born-again Dylan, rocking it for Jesus.

Alternatively, 1986's Empire Burlesque Dylan, dressed like a washed up Stevie Ray Vaughan, doing assloads of coke, and caring more about his multiple mistresses than his recording output. It may not be the most popular Dylan, but it is an interesting Dylan.
