Which Billy Joel songs...........
This is dedicated to the fans of Billy Joel and his great music.
Which ones of his great songs is your favorite? Is it Piano Man, Angry Young Man , Scenes from an Italian Restaurant, Don't Ask Me Why? New York State Of Mind......?
Any more I didn't mention?
I have been privileged to have seen the man in concert a few times and I follow a band from New York that is a Billy Joel tribute band that is a dead-on. If you were to close your eyes while seeing and hearing them, you'd swear you are listening to the man himself. Of course, they play all his big hits I mentioned plus a few I can't think of.
Is it me or does BJ's music make you feel real good?

Re: Which Billy Joel songs...........
Ive been a fan of his since I first heard "Captain Jack" back in FM radio's early days. He's been a favorite ever since. I own every one of his albums and Ive been fortunate enough to have seen him in concert 5 times and every show is better than the last.
His induction of John Mellencamp into the 2008 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was nothing short of brilliant. His wry, sarcastic sense of humor had everyone in stitches.
I play several Billy Joel songs in my shows and without fail, everytime I play Piano Man, I may as well not be singing at all because the entire crowd sings every word. The man is by far, one of the greatest artists of our time.
