I always thought he didn't get enough respect as a musician and songwriter. Already see the evidence on this thread.

It's a bit the same reaction Taylor Swift gets...oh you have written literally dozens of songs that speak to people and are insanely memorable melodies and oh you play an instrument flawlessly....but you are popular so you are overrated and kind of a talentless hack.

Totally Agree. The masses sometimes pick apart talent that is essentially virtuoso level, in favor of one trick ponies/ flashes in the pan.

It's almost like if he wasn't an astonishingly great pianist, and had a quarter of the number of hits he had, people would respect him more. How silly!

I do feel the same way about Taylor Swift.

Something is very wrong if a person does not enjoy listening to Billy Joel.

The Stranger is one of my favorite songs of all time. Also Innocent Man as I went through something like that.

I loved that little piece where he turned Uptown Girl into a classical music piece. He probably would have been a noted classical composer if he’d been born in that era.

Joke: Which Billy Joel album cover emphasizes his Huge eyes?

(All of them)

Does he have a thyroid problem

Hey! There are dozens of us with Huge Eyes and we don't have a medical problem. Just Huge Eyes. We are expressive

I mean, the classical album he did put out was number one on the classical music charts

Speaks volumes, huh? Just more Hollywood propaganda trying to normalize and glorify hedonism, eroding religion, breaking vows and the casual destruction of families. Oh but he can sing catchy piano songs, what a mensch!

Spare me.

She does! She's kind of goofy/sweet. Wasn't really expecting that.

+ He's an amazing musician. The music composition, lyrics that are top-notch poetry, plus he can play the piano and sing.

He is a virtuoso! Even if you don't like his music,there is no denying his talent.

I was confused if his ex-wife, Elizabeth, knew that her brother was defrauding him. This was never explained.

he warned you that he'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints so maybe you can just move on from this thread
