Billy Joel is my favorite. I have been an fan since I started walking. All that said, I LOVE Scenes from an Italian Restaurant. The piano is beautiful, and the saxophone, well, that is PURE perfection.

I also like "Downeaster Alexa"

:thumbsup:
Downeaster Alexa rules. Scenes is a classic as well.

I used to have VHS tape of his performance in Yankee Stadium, you're right that song was awesome.

Piano Man

Possibly bias as I play the piano hardcore.

Haven't heard many of his songs, so I have to go with Piano Man for the same reason as irishScott.

Go to youtube and search for Billy Joel.
Stay all night.
Listen to every song.
Miss work tommorow.
It's worth it.
One of the most talented men of the generation.

What's the Bosom Buddie's theme song? That one.

I'm a huge fan of Billy Joel, my favorites would be "River of Dreams" or "Piano Man". Almost all of his stuff is great though.

 

[WildHorse]

"River of Dreams"

 

[flxnimprtmscl]

Piano Man. 2nd is Big Shot.

 

[fustercluck]

Your Only Human (Second Wind)...at least that's what my MP3 file calls it. He has a lot of great tunes. He did a good job at the superbowl also.

 

[Killrose]

Downeaster Alexa

Although I really am not a big album buying fan of his, I will give him credit for his lyrical content and being able to convey and carry a coherent story line thru-out a hole song. Some thing very, very few artists can accomplish.

Wow .... just too hard to select one. Went to see him in Philly with Elton John in '01, then went to see him again in '06 in DC. Best live song was 'Goodnight Saigon' when he brought a group of veterans on stage to sing at the end of the song .... not a dry eye in the place.

In no order here, Big Shot - Movin' Out - Scenes - Lullabye

We Didn't Start The Fire

Goodnight Saigon. It's definitely one of my top ten all time favorite (and saddest) songs.
