Billy Joel (Official Thread)

[PinkFreud]

Piano Man is the only Billy Joel song I like. When I first heard it I actually thought it was Bob Dylan, don't know why That could've been the second Dylan song I liked lol

I have always loved Billy Joel

from his early beginnings to present

The Brinkley years were more pop-ish for him and some of his post -marriage things were bitter and dark.. I used not like them much but as I got older (more mature perhaps JADED) I learned to understand them ..

GLASS HOUSES is my all time favorite album but I really liked them all.


Recently on BBC's Ashes To Ashes D.I. Drake has a dream involving a Billy Joel cover of Uptown Girl..the shows basis was mid 1980's so it's alot of fun



YouTube - Uptown Girl - Ashes to Ashes - Series 3 Episode 2 Preview - BBC One
