Mellemcamp is watered-down Billy Joel. Take out the depth of lyrics and the musical creativity and you get the Cougs.

Sorry but IMO Mellencamp (after his first few albums) is miles ahead as a songwriter - check out Scarecrow or Big Daddy to start.
Billy Joel, to me, is trite - Just the Way You Are is mansplaining done in song, for example.
