Subject: Favorite Billy Joel Songs

Written By: lebeiw15 on 03/22/03 at 07:57 p.m.

Since I know there are several Billy Joel fans here, I thought I would start this thread.  What, in your opinion, are your favorite Billy Joel songs?  I have too many that I like, but I think I'll put some of my absolute favorites here.

Only the Good Die Young
We Didn't Start the Fire
Scenes From an Italian Restaurant
My Life

There will probably be more later, but those are my favorites off the top of my head for now.  :)

It would have to be "Capitan Jack".  My brothers and I were only allowed to listen to a few artists when we were younger, and somehow Billy Joel slipped onto the approved list.  We listened to it over and over on a little orange turntable.  If my parents had ever paid attention to the lyrics, they would have been horrified.  I think we liked that part best.
The next year, we found a box of albums in the woods.  Then the musical clam cracked open as we were introduced to Zepplin, Bowie, the Rolling Stones and many others.  Its funny to think about how rebellious it all seemed at the time.
I still wonder who threw out all those albums....
