There are a few tracks I like from those three LPs, especially the singles.<br />You're welcome, I had a blast listening for the first time to all his studio albums. So why not share my experience of the music?Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-75600398118128900532014-02-05T10:14:34.939-08:002014-02-05T10:14:34.939-08:00These albums are really hard to take if you love h...These albums are really hard to take if you love his 70's stuff. They're a bit of a slap in the face, and part of why I think he's lazy. <br />He got REALLY pedestrian after his divorce, not to mention a bit preachy. It's all very unnatractive. <br />Ha ha ha ha - love that comment above - I would've jumped! :)<br />(Great series Chris - thanks for the memories / analysis)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10564530451622058840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-63129273163138337052014-01-31T02:11:10.466-08:002014-01-31T02:11:10.466-08:00@Chip Lary: Nice story about your niece.

I had to help her with ones like "children of Thalidomide" because she had never heard about it. She actually learned several things in post-WWII history from this song. And it's also catchy.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-83883039949078944772014-01-30T00:38:43.610-08:002014-01-30T00:38:43.610-08:00@Ruth: Billy Joel has put out great songs, but you...@Ruth: Billy Joel has put out great songs, but you have to go way back to find the good stuff. <br />River of Dreams song is not bad, glad you enjoyed it.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-75759387063911940032014-01-30T00:38:09.171-08:002014-01-30T00:38:09.171-08:00@thevoid99: I got the info from wikipedia that the...@thevoid99: I got the info from wikipedia that the artwork won an award,maybe it’s inaccurate(happens). <br />I don’t remember that video(I guess it’s from the 1986 Bridge album).

Some of Billy Joel's stuff in the 80s weren't very good due to the production. I remember a video for a song where a guy was about to jump off a bridge only for Billy Joel to convince him through song to not do it. I would've jumped.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.com
