My favorite Billy Joel song======================

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yYchgX1fMw

Oh yeah, I've heard him. (Glass Houses)
Sends me back to Loverboy days.
Reminds me of music the cheerleaders listened to.
Not really the kind of music I normally listen to.
Not really hearing a lot of keyboard/piano focus.
Its more of a yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah fake smile music to me.
I'll stick with Elton John.

But... I DON'T like Billy Joel's music.

The Stranger will always be my favorite Billy Joel album. A lot of his early stuff was personal to us here on Long Island. The Stranger was when we all said, wow, this guy is a breakout superstar.

Now, I like that a bit more.
Thanx

John Elton.

i read the book Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs. In chapter 4: How can I agree so much and disagree so much, at the same time.

There are people who don't know Billy Joel? He held the title for a male with the most hit songs on the charts. Garth Brooks passed that, and he did that recording a Billy Joel song.

I haven't paid attention to music 'charts' since I turned 9.
As a teen I listened to hard rock "Disco Destroyer" channels and when I was working I listened to the blues on community radio.
Now I don't listen to radio at all.

Much of my youth was heavy metal/hard rock played very loud.

Some of the Billy Joel songs I have heard but didn't like enough to even try to find out who it was.
Now older, I have a 'listening ear' and tune to the instruments mostly. To me, the words of a song are less important unless they align with the instrument sounds.

Top or trending music seldomly appeals to me. Hip/Hop strikes me as shallow but I like a lot of Soul. I like Motown 60s and early 70s music. I can tolerate 50's music but its not a preference.

A lot of Billy Joel music reminds me of teeny bopper music. Its no wonder I can't associate the name. Elton John music mainly reminds me of adult music by comparison. But, I don't like a lot of Elton John songs either.

For the last 20 years or more, I've been listening to what I call 'selective music". Meaning I listen to the music I want to hear when I want to hear it.

According to other people I've met, I have great taste in music. I even get asked by strangers who is the band that's playing when I am in my truck. Mt gf listened to radio hits when I met her but has gotten a bunch of different music from me she never heard but really likes.

Like I said earlier, I like a few Billy Joel songs now (thanx geezer). I'm not set in stone about music.
Rap is not music so it doesn't count at all.
Rap makes me angry and I find it hostile and irritating.
I can't tolerate opera either but I like some opera metal.
I don't like much death metal anymore either.
My tastes have moved to easier listening and mellower music but I still rock out every once in a while.
Classical music I often find boring but tolerable.
I prefer instrumentals over vocals most of the time.
I like psy-goa trance and ambient trance for trance music. I can tolerate some dance trance but it gets old fast for me.
I prefer long songs over short ones.
I prefer mix selections over albums.
I like most any instrument played with mastery.
I remember the instrumental solo parts of songs before I learn the words to a song.
I set my sound system to less bass and higher treble.
I like music loud so it hits my body.
I can dance to nearly any tune.
I dream music in surround.
I can 'dance' without music, using memory and stay in rhythm.
In my youth I played acoustic guitar and drums.
I can create a tune on a keyboard.
I've had no musical lessons, ever.

Music has been part of my life since before I was born. My dad had a huge record collection and I have a huge mp3 collection. My dad organised and detailed his collection and I organise and detail mine.
Music is a bigger part of me than movies and I have a lot of movies.

So yes, I am not familiar with Billy Joel but most people are not familiar with most of the music I like.
I'm an oddball and proud of it.

Elton is great, but Billy Joel is da' man.

Based on your comment, I think you'll love this -- it's hilarious:

billy joel

This has been interesting. Is it kind of equal Elton John and Billy Joel? I will always be Joel. I'm always liking his melodies and lyrics and singing.

C'mon y'all its Elton john all the way

we know you are!! but how about Billy ???
ha ha !!!

BILLY JOEL!!!

These questions always stir very incredible memories...sigh...my plate is a wee bit larger with room for Phil Collins and Eric Clapton...some days my frontrunner maybe influenced by a wonderful recent glass of port or reisling...

I've never really cared for Elton John's style.
Seriously, Linus from The Peanuts, was a better
pianist.

Billy Joel was okay, right up to Nylon Curtain.

My biggest question about Joel's entire music catalog...
Is, why, for a song called 'Piano Man'...
Why does the guy with the harmonica never shut up?
I mean, the song isn't called 'Harmonica Man'.

Wrong post sorry.

Huh?

I have about 50 songs to add, if anyone cared to know.
