Happy 75th birthday to Billy Joel! What songs are you listening to in celebration?

[shadowlands1960]

She's Always a Woman

[dfwgator]

Prelude/The Angry Young Man

[GSWarrior]

It doesn’t exist.

[Seruzawa]

I’ve never cared for Bill’s music very much. But Piano Man is a great song.

[redangus]

It’s between Piano man and New York State of Mind. I’m leaning towards the latter.

[shadowlands1960]

re: ‘Piano Man’ - It’s very personable... you can imagine ‘being there’

[Ciaphas Cain]

Well I majored in history so I’ll always appreciate “We Didn’t Start The Fire”.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Some folks
Like to get away
Take a holiday
From the neighborhood...

[shadowlands1960]

‘Matter of Trust’ was my second pick. It’s not a piano song but he nails the back-beat on the guitars...

[Bob434]

Proud Mary.. oh wait, that was credence clearwater- nm

[CatOwner]

'Piano Man' is good, but I like some of the lyrics of 'You May Be Right':

"You may be right
I may be crazy
Oh, but it just may be a lunatic you're looking for ..."

[PGR88]

Seen the Lights Go Out on Broadway

its a fantastic tune and a very uncommon non-left social-political commentary

[null and void]

It's Still Billy Joel to Me "Weird Al" Yankovic

[dfwgator]

The best thing about Billy Joel, was Liberty DeVitto. An absolute monster on drums.

[BlueStateRightist]

Many great songs:

New York State of Mind
Only the Good Die Young
Movin’ Out
Vienna
Scenes from an Italian Restaurant

[sauropod]

‘You may be right’.

[Steve_Seattle]

I was never a fan, but one song I like is “You may be right, I may be crazy.” When I first heard it in a store, I thought it sounded like the Rolling Stones.

[shadowlands1960]

Allentown is another great ‘social-commentary’ song.
