I think Billy Joel is one of the most incredible artistes of all time. In my opinion, he is the epitome of 80s music. Singer, songwriter, composer, Billy has made waves with his chart-topping hits and meaningful lyrics. "New York State Of Mind", "Piano Man", "Honesty", "We Didn't Start The Fire", "Uptown Girl", "The River Of Dreams", "Just The Way You Are", and "A Matter Of Trust" are a few of what I can remember. This talented showman can sing various genres of music, ranging from Pop, Rock & Roll, to The Blues. He was the man who introduced me to Rock & Roll music, having listened to songs like "It's Still Rock And Roll To Me", and "Say Goodbye To Hollywood". I really, really love his music because they're all so meaningful and so catchy. Great for the early morning get-up-and-go attitude, the lazy afternoon laze-around-style, and the late night blues. His repertoire is able to fit into every kind of life, love, and liking. Don't believe me? Just go ahead and get this CD: "Billy Joel - The Essential". It includes all his no. 1 singles and they differ widely. Songs like "Leningrad" and "The Downeaster Alexa" take you to another country, another life that says a lot. So do listen to this great man and indulge yourself in the stories of life...

This is the song that launched Billy's debut as an artist. Talks a lot about his life before he became who he is today.

Really teaches you about honesty, this one. Listen and learn...
Billy Joel - Allentown
The song speaks for itself. Tells about a town and its residents.
