OMG , Why didn't anyone tell me about Billy Joel before

that's a few days of joy from a new discovery !

:rofl: :hide:

:rofl:

excluding myself of course.

Shame on you

Well I love his old stuff but indifferent to his newer stuff

Then again this could also be a private joke I have no clue about.

whoops. i was channeling Midlo for a minute. :hide: :rofl:

...he's the BEST songwriter America has produced. Yes, even better than Dylan or Springsteen.

schmaltzy, derivative, highly commercial Billy Joel?

...but I also thought "Contact" was an excellent, highly entertaining movie. So, take it with a grain of salt.

Listening to this now:

In concert, he sounds exactly the same as he does on LP/tape/CD. Not too many singers can say that anymore.

And that, my friend, is why I attribute a stunning amount of good taste to you.







so what's up with the capri pants...? :hide:

I have NEVER worm capri pants!!!!

when he and Elton John toured together and it was a wonderful evening. I think he's one of the best.

I see you have been introduced to the Internet already. I hope the lack of flying cars and Martian colonies hasn't disappointed you too much.

Love it.

it seems the 80's were his peak popularity years. And it looks he is not mentioned as much as Dylan and Paul Simon

Oops. Maybe I said too much...

His songs have always resonated with me! No idea why...they just always have.

Great ballads, great kick-ass hard rocking songs, all of them are wonderful!

Some of them make me get up and dance, and some make me cry...

Some of them make me wish I could sing...

I can't, so I let him sing for me.

Enjoy!

:hi:

I still like his old songs.

The Robot makes its appearance at 2:35.

Thats a good way to lose some teeth.

Is a really good album. I listened to it again just the other day.

Hoping to keep him away from anyone who hasn't heard him yet, in order to preserve our cultural heritage.

GREAT show!

been under-rated as a song writer. I agree that he is one of the best we have seen in decades. The fact that he is "so" commercial, doesn't bother me.

-P

Piano men concert or some similar dribble
Person i was with loved it.
i had a truly good nap.
Dozed off right after one of them hit the stage--elton john maybe.
woke up when is was over
she was furious

"Cad-i-lack-ack-ack-ack" my royal Italian ASS.

God, the only thing better than Billy Joel is the dog licking your face while you're passed out loaded on the couch.

NOT-A-FAN.

Sorry.

:evilgrin:

ack-ack-ack-ack-ack

and all those other stupid fucking things he does in his "music".

youyouyouyouyouyouyouyou had to be a big shot

:eyes:

Please.

in the advertising department. There was a theme park called Carowinds which had live music on the weekends. One of the acts canceled, can't remember who it was...but it was a country singer. The last minute replacement was Billy Joel, who I took to be another country singer. Well, his name seemed kind of country. I placed the ads but wasn't interested in going with my free tickets. I gave the tickets to a co-worker, who went, loved the music, and decided to use her press credentials to go backstage and interview Joel, who was courteous, funny, and unhurried. He had only received a lukewarm reception from the audience, who was expecting country music, but my friend was very impressed with his music.

I think 'The Nylon Curtain' and 'The Stranger' are both FANTASTIC albums. :thumbsup:

Goodnight Saigon, The Stranger, Pressure, Only the Good Die Young, Allentown...
