2. Wonderful poll.
Like many songwriters, most of their better works
don't get much airplay.

In my book, anyone who drives a Citroen 2CV is
alright.

In this case he should have been driving a Cadillacacacac.

3. Captain Jack drove a cadalliac
I kind of like this song, too.

When you look into my eyes
And you see the crazy gypsy in my soul
It always comes as a surprise
When I feel my withered roots begin to grow
Well I never had a place that I could call my very own
That's all right, my love, 'cause you're my home

When you touch my weary head
And you tell me everything will be all right
You say, "Use my body for your bed
And my love will keep you warm throughout the night"
Well I'll never be a stranger and I'll never be alone
Wherever we're together, that's my home

Home can be the Pennsylvania Turnpike
Indiana's early morning dew
High up in the hills of California
Home is just another word for you

Well I never had a place that I could call my very own
That's all right, my love, 'cause you're my home

If I travel all my life
And I never get to stop and settle down
Long as I have you by my side
There's a roof above and good walls all around
You're my castle, you're my cabin and my instant pleasure dome
I need you in my house 'cause you're my home.
You're my home.

You're my home.

7. If I could figure THAT one out, I'd be a better person, and the world would be a better place for it
And don't think I haven't TRIED.

6. This poll seriously made me laugh out loud...
I don't even particularly have anything for or against Billy Joel but this really made me laugh my ass off.

11. He had some decent tunes back in the day.
Edited on Sun Oct-18-09 11:54 AM by MilesColtrane
But, there was some awful shit out of him in the '80s.

Of course in retrospect, compared to the bilge that's on the radio today, he's fucking Mozart.

12. I like that song about Allentown
but I get very grumpy when I hear Billy Joel on my classic rock station. He's neither!

14. For an older dude, he seems to get a bunch of hot, young chicks.
At what else is there, really?
