I truly hated Billy Joel in his "Piano Man" period ( >:( ) and didn't like him until "The Stranger" (1977) and "52nd Street" (1978).
For the late '70s, he's one of those artists that pretty much owned the airwaves.

So, for his songs I like I'll go with "Other", because...

"The Stranger" (1978)
and
"Rosalinda's Eyes" (1978)

Now if he could only learn how to drive...  ::)

;D

I said it in the 1980s. . .

It is impossible to choose a favorite Billy Joel song.

Subject: Re: Billy Joel.....70's Only

Written By: HeartsAfire on 12/02/04 at 12:03 am

"Just the Way You Are"

I have noted that usually when this song is on the radio nowadays, they leave out the second part (Don't go tryin' some new fashions.  Don't change the color of your hair...etc)

Either way...love this song.  :)

Yeah, good choices, but don't quit your day job! I think Billy's safer either on his boat or on his motorcycle!

OTOH, the pollster left out 3 full albums of singles we should be able to choose from. What about "She's Got A Way", "Everybody Loves You Now", "You're My Home", "Billy The Kid", "Captain Jack", "Streetlife Serenader", "Los Angelenos", "The Entertainer", "Say Goodbye To Hollywood", "New York State Of Mind", "Angry Young Man", "Seen The Lights Go Out On Broadway", "Only The Good Die Young", and "The Stranger" ? You can't just limit our choices to less than half! I chose "Movin'Out", but if I had all these to pick from, I'd go with "New York State Of Mind". Thanks!

Your Pal,
Doc

Perhaps these polls should ask about favorite Billy Joel Albums.

Songs in the Attic for me.

Subject: Re: Billy Joel.....70's Only

Written By: Banks on 12/02/04 at 5:00 pm

They all rock...but My Life is my favorite. It brings back memories of driving through Newcastle (New South Wales) in the middle of summer heading to the beach with my Mum driving and the two of us singing the song at the top of our voices.

This song also gave me my favorite saying to use in an arguement: You can speak your mind, but not on my time.

I like "the ballad of billy the kid" even though it is historically
incorrect.Billy the Kid was shot to death by Pat Garrett not
hanged as the song suggest.

It's SO hard to choose, as Billy Joel is one of my Top 20 favorite artists. I chose "Just the Way You Are" because it was one of the first Joel songs I was introduced to as it was my parent's wedding song Tthey were married in 1978)

I think, when Chucky first enabled polls, he only limited it to a certain number of items.

I saw a guest viewing it, so I decided to check it out. ;) Dusting off a thread that was last posted on exactly one year ago!

Okay, let me go back and place my vote.

I've only made 7 polls thus far (I think); maybe I should go back and check some of mine to make sure the ballots didn't get messed up.
