Billy Joel was born on May 9, 1949 in the Bronx and shortly after moved to the Levittown section of Hicksville, Long Island, New York where he started playing piano at the age of 4. In 1964, inspired by the Beatles, he formed his first band 'The Echoes', which became 'The Lost Souls' in 1965 and then 'The Emerald Lords' in 1966. In 1967 he joined 'The Hassles' and recorded two albums, which were not successful. Billy Joel and Jon Small, the drummer of The Hassles then formed the psychedelic duo 'Attila' and released one album without success. In 1971 Billy Joel started his solo career with the album 'Cold Spring Harbour' and finally achieved fame in 1973 with his song 'Piano Man'.
Inducted into Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1992. Inducted into Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1999 (Performer).
I'm from punkland and noiseville myself, and have been for 25 years or so, but I still recognize that Billy Joel has a huge catalog of vital, stirring, and yes -- dare I say it -- historically significant material. Way too many fantastic tracks to even begin mentioning them all. Stuff I can't stand?

Of course, there's plenty, but that doesn't detract from the dozens of perfect and unique pop songs that I still choose to listen to on occasion -- the great lyrics are key to the whole equation, of course, as well -- that should go without saying:) Still listen to 'Movin' Out' every time I do so lol.
