My vote goes to "We Didn't Start the Fire." How about you?

The Longest Time. I love that song a lot. That song gets played on the radio at my job often.

There are so many good songs that he has done over the years that it is
difficult to pick just one. But I think I'll go with "Piano Man," his first big hit.

I Love You Just The Way You Are.

there's been a lot of good ones, but I think my absolute favorite song of his is probably Pressure (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGksmlTWCFE)

"She's Right On Time" from Nylon Curtain.

Best Album EVER.

;)

I like Uptown Girl

probably uptown girl

My Life

Just The Way You Are, Tell Her About It, Uptown Girl, Keeping The Faith, Modern Woman are my favorites also. Barry White did a remake of Just The Way You Are and he did a good job.

I also like The Longest Time, Keeping the Faith, You May Be Right, & She's Right On Time as well.

Tell Her About It

LOVE "Movin' Out". I also like "Just the Way You Are" and "Only the Good Die Young".

My favorite Billy Joel song is An Innocent Man because it's such a fun song to sing and I like to do the screaming part of the song along with Billy because it's such a fun part. My other favorite Billy Joel song is Leave A Tender Moment Alone because it's an awesome song and really soothing to listen to

My other favorite Billy Joel songs are Hey Girl and Moving Out and Lullabye because it's so soothing. Just writing this post makes my heart thump and i'm getting dreamy because Billy Joel is now my crush. Hope I don't dream about him tonight

He has so many great songs it’s hard to pick just one.

I Love Billy Joel.

As far as the number of songs I like of his, he's second only to the Beatles.

Obviously, I've seen him in concert a bunch of times.

The Garden, Shea Stadium, Yankee Stadium, Coliseum, Joisey.

These are my favorite in alphabetical order:

A Matter of Trust
And So it Goes
Captain Jack
James
Lullabye
New York State of Mind
Piano Man
Rosalinda's Eyes
Scenes From An Italian Restaurant
She's Got a Way
Summer, Highland Falls
The Downeaster Alexa
This Is The Time

I could have easily listed twice that many.

My Life, Uptown Girl, The Longest Time

MeTV Music this morning played Leave a Tender Moment Alone from 1983, mentioned by Bestie as one of her favorites. Great song! I remember it well.

New York State of Mind

Little Anthony has done a cover of this song for his new album.

Just The Way You Are.

Top 10
1. For the Longest Time- Before I knew who Billy Joel was, a guy's quartet at my high school music camp sang this.
2. Uptown Girl
3. We Didn't Start the Fire
4. Big Shot
5. River of Dreams
6. Honesty
7. Piano Man
8. Always a Woman to Me
9. An Innocent Man- fun song but he had some nerve claiming innocence when the wife even sued him and won. :eek:
10. No Man's Land

There aren't many bad songs but Captain Jack is awful.

Did Billy ever make any Christmas albums? It would be nice to hear his voice on Christmas songs.

Wow how could I 4get Piano Man??

MeTV Radio has been airing a fair number of Billy Joel's songs. Here are some I've heard them play most often, in addition to Leave a Tender Moment Alone which I mentioned:

I don't believe Billy Joel has never ever released a Christmas album in his career but he did sing a marvelous version of Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas with Rosie O'Donnell on her Rosie Christmas album. But if Billy Joel released a Christmas album i'd buy it in a heartbeat because he's my crush still. I also LOVE An Innocent Man too as well because Billy has so much screaming the chorus and I scream along with him when I hear it

Piano Man

It's Still Rock & Roll to Me and Tell Her about it
