Billy Joel (Official Thread)

[Cosmic Harmony]

A very pleasant surprise to see someone's favorite album from Billy not be "The Stranger" (something I'm guilty of), but then again Eberg, I'm not really surprised that you'd take songs like "You May Be Right" and "It's Still Rock and Roll To Me" over the likes of "Just The Way You Are" and "She's Always A Woman".

I love Uptown Girl off of An Innocent Man, though


You know me too well, Cosmic.. Still Rock n Roll to Me is bouncy, kind of nihilistic, and fun.. You May be Right is just a rocker.. and Sleeping With the Television on is just smooth and fun..



and I Don't Want To Be Alone..

 

[Sweaty]

Gotta love Billy Joel, he is a true star IMO

All great choices.

I just know you well enough to know that you would like argueable Billy's hardest rocking album over the most jazzy, piano centered songs from his earlier albums.

One of my favorites from "Glass Houses" (other than the hits that is) would be "Close to the Borderline".

 

[ILoveJimmyPage]

One of his better songs from later in his career.

Excellent! One of my favorites from him as well.

 

[Cosmic Harmony]

I think "We Didn't Start The Fire" was probably the first Billy Joel song I ever heard. It was either that or probably "Uptown Girl".

[Soot and Stars]

Just bought this album in the 5 dollar bin!



I have all three Billy Joel Greatest Hits c.d.s so I know all his hits but I was glad this disc had one of my favorites even though I already had it! Love this song:

My Life


My favorite surprise and gem was this track though:

Stiletto

 

[Cosmic Harmony]

Stiletto

"52nd Street" is a great album Sooty and a "Stiletto" is one of my favorite tracks from it too.

("My Life" is one of my songs from Billy overall though. )

I guess not a lot of you knows Billy was a member of hard rock band back in 1970. Really? Yes!

​

Critics described it as "one of the worst rock album of all time". I say **** them, they know nothing. I liked this project!
