The ultimate Billy Joel playlist
Billy Joel has always been thought of as a radio-dominating piano popper, but the depth of Joel's talent and craft has been something that allowed his legacy to live on well past the point after he stopped making albums. His "Greatest Hits" compilations are some of the best-selling albums of all time, due in part to the fact that Joel isn't summed up by a single song. You can try, certainly, but would you really pit "Piano Man" vs. "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant"? "For the Longest Time" against "And So It Goes"? Ranking his works has been attempted on podcasts, but we're here to give you the ultimate Billy Joel playlist, not only touching on his airwave-dominating hits but also on every truly great song of his, ranging from his unfairly maligned debut "Cold Spring Harbor" to his contribution to the 1988 Disney film "Oliver & Company." As he celebrates his 70th birthday, it feels only appropriate to give tribute to one of the big shots of pop music history with this present of a playlist.
