Billy Joel Greatest Hits: Vol. 1-2 (2CD)
(more)
»rank: 435
Editorial Product Review: essential recording:It's one of the cruel ironies of music today that Billy Joel has been relegated to a kind of adult-contemporary hell, where his legacy is measured by soft-rock staples such as 'Just the Way You Are,' 'Piano Man,' and 'New York State of Mind.' To be sure, well-crafted ballads are a part of his legacy, but they're hardly the whole story, as this collection of his early and mid-period hits amply demonstrates. From the unbridled biographical boasting of 'The Entertainer' and the ...

The Stranger

»rank: 1799
Editorial Product Review: essential recording:This, pop superstar Joel's breakout LP, came years after he first hit the charts with the novelty-ish 'Piano Man.' In the meantime, the New York-based songwriter released two lackluster and stylistically confused platters that blunted interesting songs with a sound that was neither Elton mellow nor Elton attitude. Produced by Phil Ramone, The Stranger took those who had written Joel off as a one-hit wonder by surprise ('Just the Way You Are' was among the biggest hits of 1977) and it remains ...

52nd Street
(more)
»rank: 4477
Editorial Product Review: :Following up his 1977 breakthrough smash The Stranger was no easy task for Billy Joel; 52nd Street shows he wasn't quite up to the challenge, though it sold similarly well and kept the momentum for his fast- track career until the more impressive Glass Houses appeared in 1980. 52nd Street isn't without its moments: 'My Life' remains one of Joel's most memorable hit singles, 'Half a Mile Away' is a wonderful slice of infectiously upbeat pop, and 'Rosalinda's Eyes' sways to an alluringly airy ...
