Greatest Hits Vols. 1 & 2 [Remaster] - Joel, Billy (Cassette 1998)

I'm a Billy Joel nut, so of course I am a huge advocate of his greatest hits volume I and II. But even for people who aren't particularly familiar with Billy's brilliant work, this album is fantastic. From beginning to end, cover to cover, it is nonstop fun and just great music. You will find yourself singing along to songs that you didn't even think you knew the words to. There are, of course, songs like Piano Man and Only the Good Die Young which everyone in the world knows and loves. But there are also the somewhat less heralded songs which you will learn to appreciate if you don't already. Songs like Scenes From an Italian Restaurant, Captain Jack, and one of my favorites Goodnight Saigon. There are few songs that are more fun to sing when you are with your friends out at a bar, when you are driving to work, or when you are in bed ready to go to sleep. This album has touching love songs, fun party songs, and great drinking songs. Billy's lyrics are great and nobody plays the piano like he does. It appeals to all ages so teenagers shouldn't be afraid to listen to it and read the lyrics in the booklet.....I've done it all many times. IF you like this album get his greatest hits volume III and the rest of his cds. They are all good.
