Karen,
I'm glad you like my list. It wasn't easy narrowing my "fave" Billy Joel songs down to 10, but I did -- after 6 hours of typing and placing those tedious little bits of HTML code.

I like "Just the Way You Are" a great deal, and I can, on a good day, sing it -- to myself, since I'm not in a chorus any more. Because it has, as in your case, been standardized as a wedding song and received so much airplay and included in so many "best of" Billy Joel collections, it's the one song Billy won't sing in concert anymore.

Thanks for the read!

I may be deaf, but I sure can hear Billy Joel's music. Most of those on your list are my favorites as well. "just The Way You Are" is still number one for me-- it was my wedding song.

I surprised myself when Scenes From An Italian Restaurant didn't make the final cut, Paul, and had it been 15 songs by Billy that I love, I would have included it.

I'll add in an Honorable Mention in order of preference.

No Scenes From An Italian Restaurant? See, now I've got those "whoa's" playing in my head. Enjoyed your list, though. Nicely done.
