Billy the Hits - Billy Joel

Amazon Review

This two-disc set features 36 digitally remastered hit songs, carefully selected from Billy Joel's entire discography from 1971 to 1993. Billy Joel is often associated with the image of a "piano man" from New York, exemplified by early ballads like those found on Disc 1<1> and Disc 1<14>.

However, this album, a comprehensive look at his representative songs released over more than 20 years, reveals that he dislikes being typecast. From straightforward rock and roll to Motown-style pop songs reminiscent of classic America, and even serious, politically charged message songs, he has consistently produced numerous hits with each album release. It truly showcases his undeniable talent as a "hitmaker," for better or for worse. Enjoy the full "Billy Joel style." (Akie Igarashi)
