Yes, I love Billy Joel. He is a hilarious and candid guy not afraid to speak his mind about what he likes and dislikes about his music. His interviews on his XM station are great.

I go deep in the Billy Joel catalog. Like most artists his best stuff is outside the hits.

I’d disagree depending on what you mean by hits.
Uptown Girl and songs like that are not his best but some of the hits are among the best.

Not sure about Joel but Elton John is like that. He has two greatest hits albums and you can argue that you could make a third one that is equal to or better than the official ones (especially II).

Sails
No Shoe Strings on Louise
Come Down in Time
Love Song
Amoreena
Tiny Dancer (how is this not on greatest hits)
Mellow
I've Seen That Movie Too
All the Girls Love Alice

Same. My pops was a musician and my early memories are singing Billy Joel songs he played on the piano.
