I have a confession...

[link=http://youtube.com/watch?v=LraZEoRnkPc]I love Billy Joel.[/link] I don't care what you think of him, I think he's one of the greatest singer/songwriters of our time. At least he writes and performs all his own stuff.

I've been meaning to get some of his stuff down on the piano. Haven't played in a while though. He is awesome though I totally agree!

Billy Joel is definitely a guilty pleasure of mine.

Goodnight, My Angel was written for his daughter, [link=http://alexajoel.com/]Alexa[/link].

My personal Billy Joel favorites:

[Moose]

I know about Alexa (also, his boat, the Downeaster "Alexa". Did you know he also wrote classical pieces?

Dude billy joel rocks

 

[NinjaFluff]

Aiki's just a pup anyway, Billy Joel is before his time

that being said... I know who he is, but I just can't stand his music. Yeah, I know, door's over there

 

[Flippy the Squirrel]

I like early Billy Joel, like The Piano Man, The Stranger, Captain Jack ... damn tasty stuff. I think An Innocent Man was his last really good album.

 

[Moose]

I love all his stuff right through to River of Dreams, just for the musicality of his compositions, but I have to say either Storm Front or Glass Houses are my favorite albums.

 

[Monkeybits]

I have been known to fire up a Billy Joel MP3 from time to time.

 

[RESPAWN]

I'm not going to claim that he's my favorite artist, but he's a darn good one, that's for sure. I was going to go see the touring production of his Broadway show, Movin' Out (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movin'_Out_(musical)), but it turns out that it's going to be here the weekend that I'm going to Vegas. I've heard it's pretty good, though.

 

[Flippy the Squirrel]

Ahh, I forgot about Storm Front. That was a good one. River of Dreams didn't really grip me that much, and lately he's been having some issues that haven't translated well musically (so far as I know), but his early stuff is just beyond compare. Scenes from an Italian Restaurant still gets my toes-a-tappin'.

 

[Moose]

I believe Scenes From an Italian Restaurant and Angry Young Man (just listened to that on the way home) epitomize his piano playing ability. Just listen to the piano solos on those songs and you'll see what I mean.

And Monkey, did I not put this in Off-Topic from the get-go? My apologies, that was my intention!
