For me, there are two Billy Joels:
One, the amazing, breath-taking songwriter and pianist of the 70s
and Two, the tired, out of ideas, pop singer of the 80s regurgitating tired pop song writing cliches (mostly from the 50s) .
After 52nd Street, the only record I find any good at all is The Nylon Curtain because on a few of those songs he finally found something to say again.
From his five first albums Cold Spring Harbor to The Stranger, there is only one song I truly don't like in the whole catalogue. I honestly couldn't answer if I was asked if I was more blown away by his piano skills or his songwriting skills. He is incredible at both.
After 52nd Street, which is an okay album, but not nearly up to the first five, there are only four songs he wrote that I feel are up to his standards that he established in the 70s: Allentown, Pressure, The Downeaster Electra, and Goodnight Saigon (which is easily the best of the lot).
I thought I was the only one who loved Allentown, because other people seemed to skip over that one.
I've always hated We Didn't Start the Fire, but I'd have to give worst to This is the Time.
I generally don't watch music videos, too many times they have ruined songs for me.I music video for Allentown is, well, strange...
I know I'm going to hell and stuff, but it's fun to sing along to Illegal Alien.Them make a Phil Collins thread

It's a mixed sound of boredom and death.I’m not familiar with that one- Maybe if you hum a few bars, I’ll recognize it?
this x infinityI always hated Uptown Girl.
Worst Joel song would be "all of them."
Cannot stand the condescending ***.
