Billy Joel is awesome.

I remember, long ago, when my sister was going through a country phase, she watched a concert of his from New York. Billy Joel came out and played a couple of songs, and I'll never forget how good natured Brooks was about being overshadowed. "Man, Billy Joel comes out here and you guys just forget I exist." Billy Joel is one of the best songwriters ever, regardless of genre or time period.

My oldest brother bought "Stormfront" at some point. I have no idea how much he liked it actually, but I widened the grooves on the record that you could drive through an oil tanker.

Love him.  Downeaster Alexa is one of his best.  Seen him live a bunch of times and he still puts on a spectacular show.

So many great songs that it's impossible to pick a favorite, but this one is usually right up there:

Oddly enough, Storm Front is actually one of my least favorite albums by him.  I love Downeaster Alexa and Leningrad, but other than those two I tend to lose interest quickly in the rest of the album.

Dookie was a pretty sweet album I guess.
