Uptown Girl by Billy Joel is pretty darn close to a perfect song.

My kids love it. It transcends era's.

7/17/17 8:48am

Exactly. It was recorded in the 80's but it sounds like it's from the 60's

One of the brilliant aspects of Billy Joel is that he drew inspiration from many genres and eras to write his music

Most underrated Billy Joel song: And So It Goes

I dunno... Captain Jack or Billy the Kid is as good.

Innocent Man is my favorite Joel song! Exceptional lyrics & meaning

I think you are going to extremes by calling it Billy Joel's best.
