He just is so talented that its hard not to appreciate all he has done, and how great many of his songs are. My favorite is his Beatles cover of back in the USSR. Classic!

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

It's not even the best Billy Joel song.

Piano Man has to be my favorite.

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

That whole album was conceived as a throwback to the doo-wop era

Here's another 1970's doo-wop throwback from a very unlikely source:

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

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