His live album at Yankee Stadium is great to listen to.

Songs in the OP were tragically superficial. At least Scenes was added.

Ironically enough, considering how wimpy his music is, he was supposedly a punk delinquent in HS, per his classmate Bill O'Reilly

In other news, Chuck Norris’ mom turned 103 a few days ago. Chuck’s got many years left in him.

Always think of Christie Brinkley when I think of him.

Yeah that list in the OP isnt representative of Billy’s best work, though (along with Scenes) i do like Longest Time.. NY State of Mind isnt bad, but almost as played out as Piano Man.. apparently he has started performing Longest Time in concert again recently, would have liked to have heard it when i saw him .



Other strong efforts:

Goodnight Saigon

Allentown

She’s Always a Woman

Keeping the Faith

Only the Good Die Young

From the same album (i think) And So It Goes is as good a tearjerker as youll ever find .
