I can't vote on a poll like this because there are so many. The ones I like are (no order)

Pressure
Piano Man
Captain Jack
Goodnight Siagon
The Longest Time
Keeping the Faith
Zanzabar
We Didn't Start the Fire
The Stranger

I'm sure there are more that I forgot.

Tell Her About It is my favourite.  I loved the video with the fake Ed Sullivan Show appearance O0

But ideally, it was almost hard to choose as I also love pretty much every song he did in the 80's :)

Too many good ones.  My favorite is "Just The Way You Are" followed closely by "It's Still Rock & Roll To Me", "Don't Ask Me Why", "My Life", "Uptown Girl", "Tell Her About It" and "Piano Man". :)

I love almost all of Billy Joel's music, but I chose Allentown as my favorite.

More trivia, albeit slightly off-topic: BJ is the guy hammering away on the piano in the 60's hit "Remember (Walking In the Sand)" by girl group The Shangri-Las. I've never heard Billy confirm it, so I suppose it could be more fiction than fact.

Forgot my votes for "Allentown". Also dig "Just the Way You Are" and "Honesty".

Lies!

My Life would be my first choice, followed by River of Dreams

Written By: AnnieBanannie on 01/31/06 at 8:10 am

BJ is my #1 favorite singer of all time.  Since this is the 80's thread, I'll say that "This Is The Time" is my favorite song of his from the 80's.  But my favorite album of his is "Cold Spring Harbor," from '71.

I love every song on Glass Houses. :)  I dont care for any of his 80's stuff... for me, it just doesnt compare to his earlier work. My least favorite is "We Didnt Start the Fire." That's got to be one of the most annoying songs of the past century.

Subject: Re: Billy Joel Song

Written By: KKay on 02/01/06 at 12:15 pm

Summer, Highland Falls
and maybe Always a Woman
Dpon't Ask Me Why is a good one too...
generally I don't listen to him at all, though.
