I just love Billy Joel... so I though I'd dedicate a thread to him. What are your favorite Billy Joel songs? I think mine is "It's Still Rock and Roll To Me." In fact, that's what I'm listening to right now! He's a great musician and a good example of- in my opinion- great, classic American music.

I know this sounds lame but I only know "Up Town Girl" song....So I guess that's my favourite? LOL! He's cool. :-)
Hmmm, too many good ones to pick a few...

- All About Soul
- My Life
- Uptown Girl
- It's Still Rock N' Roll To Me
- State Of Grace
- I Go To Extremes
- This Is The Time
- A Matter Of Trust
- Allentown
- Goodnight Saigon


You might be wondering why I didn't pick 'Piano Man', and the answer is simple... TOO OVERPLAYED

Aw, that's okay, Jess! I heard he grew up in Levittown, Pa. Is this true? That's where my Dad grew up...

Lol, my cousin went to one of his recent concerts, and it's a long story how but she ended up getting seats right next to the stage. When he went around to shake hands, she didn't let go of his hand, and he had to sort of pull away from her! Lol.

Aaaaah!! I wouldn't have let go of his hand, either! XD Yout cousin rocks! And you, too, for having such great taste in music!
*Clasping on to Billy Joel's hand*
"Take me with you, Billy!"
*uncomfortable laugh*
*whispers* "Security... we have another nut..." :P
-Things Have Changed For Me-
I live in Bellmore NY, which is 10 minutes from Levittown, the Long Island middle class suburb where Billy Joel grew up.

We love Billy Joel so much here that we allow him to crash into our houses without getting pissed off.

^ Lol, there would have been a similar situation in Philthydelphia at the Q+PR concert had I had front row seats...

Brian: Let go of my hand!!
Me: Never!! You're coming home with me!! :D
Brian: Do you have internet access?
Me: Yes.
Brian: Well, alright then. As long as I can get on me soapbox and rant...

Lol, I remember hearing about that. Not one of Billy's better moments... I'd like to hear an updated version of Allentown from him...

"Well we're living here in Allentown... and no one here knows any English..."

Wait... I just got that now. :P I'm too gullible! When Mr. Jingles said that in this other thread, I responded, "Me, too! :D"
Hehe... Well, either way, I still would let him crash my house. Technically, I don't have a house, so feel free to crash into my room. Just not on my CD collection. ;P

I just know a few songs, but I like them.

I guess it's alright

Billy Joel is great. Saw him with Elton a few years ago.
