the man might be a bit of a cornball, but this album is a certified classic. 10/10.
no notes, except that “Get It Right the First Time” doesn’t get the shine it deserves compared to the rest of the track list.
I like Billy Joel but he sometimes has the sense of humor of a 7-year-old that just ate too much sugar. When he does this song live, he sometimes changes the lyrics to “I go for ice cream!!” and during the solo he jumps up and down on the piano with his butt.
It's pretty hard to mess up, making it ideal for those of us who are, shall we say, tonally challenged.
Billy Joel – For the Longest Time is great if you're doing it with a group of people, but for solo karaoke my rec is still Perfect Day.
I still go on a couple times a day while I’m on the computer but that amounts to about 20x less than I would be otherwise. Brings down screen time more than you’d think.
I don’t want a Spotify wrapped, I don’t want an algorithm telling me what I like. Give me back the local dude at Blockbuster recommending our weekly movie night VHS, give me the cute girl at the record store saying “you might like The Cure”. Records, VHS, Cassette, Print Magazines….gimme dat shit
