Being a former Long Island guy I like almost all of his songs. New York state of mind might be my favorite.

My favorite use of a Billy Joel song was in 2000 when the Hillary for Senate campaign used a Billy Joel Greatest Hits CD for crowd music before she took the stage at for a stump speech.

Clinton was running late and the CD kept playing, until "Captain Jack" came on and it reminded everyone about Bill Clinton.

"Ballad of Billy The Kid" or "You're my Home." Both great songs.

When I started getting int popular music big around maybe 5th or 6th grade I was huge into Billy Joel.. still one of the artists I will listen to almost anytime or mood.

To pick a favorite? Not easy

Prelude/angry young man is amazing.

Scenes from an Italian Restaurant

Big Shot

Only the Good Die Young

Countless others still resonate with me to this day.

Souvenir is a simple great song.

Honesty

Always a woman

Running on Ice

I go to Extremes

Anyway when I started to learn guitar I wanted to learn some Billy Joel’s songs obviously.. being most are arranged around the piano (though he plays rhythm guitar as well) it took a while before I could play most anything of his close to how it sounds. Later once I was more capable with barre chords it opened up more of his catalogue to me

Don’t ask me why is one of songs that is guitar centric and not too difficult to play simplified with mostly open chords.

Currently I’ve been enjoying my and working on Weekend Song… off his very early albums so many don’t know it but still a great song

Tie between

The Longest Time
and
Goodnight Saigon

[TBP]

Ye, I love that one.

[TBP]

He was doing a concert recently, and he spotted his ex-wife in the audience, so he dedicated a song to her. (It had been written for her anyway.)

[joethedrummer]

I’ll take the whole “Nylon Curtain” album.

And like others here have said - a LOT of the “Songs From the Attic” album. (Streetlife Serenader for one..)
