It's a different world today, music like this was a standard years ago. Today everyone is returning to songs that we thought were good, but never believed they would stop making them.
You've captured it Exactly, my friend!!
An Innocent Man.
It's Still Rock And Roll To Me.
Only The Good Die Young.
My favorites.
So incredibly talented. Not a bad song.
Def Only the Good Die Young!!â€â€
The Longest Time is a blast.
âOnly the Good Die Youngâ was a teen anthem at the time. â€
My favorite Billy Joel song along with Anthony's Song (Movin' Out).
"River of dreams" by Billy Joel. Soulful!
How could i forget this song. One of my all time fav. đ
Billy is one of the best singer songwriters of the 20th century. He's in my top 5.
My top 1
Billy Joel's music was the soundtrack to my youth. Been a fan for over 40 yrs. Great reaction â€â€â€â€â€â€
In my opinion, one of Billy's best and most brutally honest songs from a brilliant song writer, yet so few reactors have discovered this gem! Kudos to both of you for reacting to this classic! You are single handedly making people rediscover One of the very best!
One of the Great singer song writers he's always a good listen. Billy Joel's two years older than myself. Nice to see younger folks reaching back and joining the older folks who have traveled through those years and experiences. Thanks for sparking the memories!!
GOOD NIGHT SAIGON! Excellent and moving song dedicated to the Viet Nam vets. Someone has linked the official video below--Billy Joel used to bring vets up on stage with him to sing this song.
"Only The Good Die Young" is a Billy Joel favorite.
you must be Exhausted from the stormy trial today how do you find time to watch Videos ?đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
@@markvanderstelt8999 Most of the trial I shut my eyes and dream of the next crime to commit.
Thank you for going back to Billy Joel from the pre MTV era. The Stranger, Stiletto, You May Be Right, All For Leyna, Scenes From An Italian Restaurant, Still Rock And Roll To Me, Big Shot.
Until the Night. One of his best emotionally felt songs. A must.
You havenât even scratched the surface of his catalog. I recommend you do reactions to âthe strangerâ , âpressureâ, âstilettoâ đâ€ïžđŒ
Oh yes! Add Vienna (if they haven't heard that one).
ALL great ones!! LOVE PRESSURE!!!
One of the best writers and songsters since the 70s. Every one has a story. Great reaction ! Highly recommend "Moving Out"...a banger
âI donât want some pretty face to tell me pretty liesâŠâ
Love that lyric.
Yeah, one of my favs
âI Love You Just The Way You AreââŠshould be your next Billy Joel song. Beautiful.
River of dreams and Leave a tender moment alone are great songs by him.
River of Dreams...yes !
Honesty is the rarest wealth anyone can possess.
You have so soooo much Billy Joel to listen to!!! Yay!!! đâ€đâ€
His most honest song ever! As it's told... Also my favorite song by him!
Just the way you are. Rosalindas eyes. The stranger. River of dreams. Billy can't stop being awesome.
He has been married multiple times and has had his share is his view of honesty. Truly, the entertainment industry is âplasticâ and being in that world depicts his experiences. Another banger for Billy Joel.
not just the Entertainment Industry So many Regular people have been Divorced Multiple times these days.
At 7:20 billy combines the two words âuponâ and âhonestyâ into one - âUPONESTYâ so seamlessly, not many can do that! Absolutely brilliant!!
Please do âAnd So It Goesâ. Billy himself is on record saying it is his best composed song. It is short yet magical!
Just The Way You Are, Zanzibar, or Stiletto. Oh, and The Stranger, Until the Night, Big Shot, etc. The list keeps going on.
Quite possibly the real king of pop. So frickn talented. Endless catalog. He and Elton John toured togetherâŠ..WOW đ€Ż
Was at their concert in Dublin Ireland seated second row behind Billys piano. Amazing gig, had seen Billy alone twice before.
đđđ
With Joel's lyrics, you can actually hear people saying them in a conversation. That's what I like about his song writing...
52nd Street in 1978, the album that this song comes from was the first ever commercial mass-produced CD.
And Billy's best vocals in my view all come from the same An Innocent Man album a few years later in 1983, those being the title track An Innocent Man, Leave a Tender Moment Alone and This Night.
Proprio cosĂŹ Pisno Man ha solo gioielli nel suo repertorio... Ma vocalmente queste tre sono il suo meglio del meglio come performance vocale đđđđ
Want some more Grease vibes? Listen to "The Longest Time." It's all acapella. Everything was done by his voices & fingers, except there's real bass. It's a masterpiece!!!
Billy's lyrics should be in a book of poetry. I'm sure he's got lyrics he's had for years. This man's words touch my heart in every way †Peace out guys âïž âźïž
Goodnight Saigon... yet another totally different Billy Joel experience.
My favorite Billy Joel song, so heartfelt.
Listen to "She's Always a woman" excellent song.
Such an incredible vocal. One of my favorites.
Thanks so much for your reactions to all Billy Joel songs, who I have loved seeing live, in concert and really recommend, ' An Innocent Man'' for more great vocal ability, plus I love ' Goodnight Saigon' and 'Just the way you are.' Thanks again, for your great choices. D đ
One of the greatest performers of all time really. Lots of great songs.
Great reaction! Here's a couple must to hear Billy Joel songs:
The Stranger
Vienna
Only the Good Die Young
Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)
Captain Jack
Goodnight Saigon and And So It Goes. Billy is an amazing lyricist and musician.
I love the nostalgia these older songs always give me.
BILLY JOEL- AN INNOCENT MAN & KEEPING THE FAITH are a must!
(Do the music video for Keeing the Faith)
song came out when I was in high school 1978 love Billy
This is absolutely one of my top favourite Billy songs - along with The Longest Time - and She's Always a Woman to Me. You would love BOTH of them. Would love to hear your reaction. Cheers from Ontario! :)
Highly highly recommended Goodnight Saigon, such a powerful song!!
Peace, Love!! Waiting for some others...especially It's Still Rock & Roll to Me! You'll hear some more instruments in that one.
The whole 52nd st album is fire
Always a woman. A must hear
Back when songs had meaning
My other favorites are River of Dreams and NY state of mind.
If you want to see even another side then âBig Shotâ is really good.
You guys just need to give up and jump down that rabbit holeâŠâ€ Thereâs no bad song. And everyone loves Billy Joel.đâ€
Totally true. I think youâd have to search long and hard to find something less than great, even just mediocre, let alone bad.
Billy Joelâs songwriting is next to none!đ
One of my favorite deep tracks from Billy Joel.
"Just the Way you "are might be his greatest song ever!!!
It is a great song but might not even be the best song on The Stranger album.
Scenes From an Italian Restaurant is epic and Phil and Sam have reacted to it previously on their channel.
Have ALWAYS LOVED the lyrics to this tune!! BILLY JOEL is THE STUFF, MAN!! SO MANY great songs - and, each seems to have it's own uniqueness!! ENJOY, YA'LL!!!
Billy Joel, who admires The Beatles a great deal, no doubt owes a lot of his musical versatility to them.
Tons of great songs from Mr. JOel..a coupler of my top favs are Angry Young Man and Captain Jack. Enjoy the journey....T
Probably one of the best songs he has done. Very strong.
Yes, one of the best vocal performances of all time. Couldn't have been done better.
A really great one from Billy is titled "Until The Night". Please listen to that one. Not one of his more famous one's, definitely one of his great one's.
Such a beautiful song đ”
Love to hear you react to Just the Way You Are. Awesome Billy song.
Billy Joel
A Matter Of Trust
Give a listen to Billy Joel's An Innocent Man. My all time favourite.
This song was actually written in the recording studio. The band had reserved time in the recording studio and had nothing to record. Billy wrote the song so they had something to record. He wrote the music and words to all his songs.
River of Dreams, Movin Out
Piano Man ha solo gioielli nel suo repertorio... Talento Totale đčđčđđâ€ïž
What I love about Billy Joel is his eclectic nature
He can be soulful, romantic, intensly rockin', or irreverent, depending on what mood you're looking for
Add to that, he's not only a singer/songwriter, but a full fledged composer, often writing the music for multiple instruments and arrangements
2 of my favorites fall into the irreverent category with The Entertainer, and New York 2019 (I've seen the lights go out on Broadway)
Itâs still rock & roll to me
Every Billy Joel song is killer, but I love "You May Be Right" and "Sometimes a Fantasy."
For different style of song than this recommend - Movin Out
Great suggestion!!
It is extra powerful because it is so true. Always one of my favorites from him.
One of my favorites from Billy Joel is "An Innocent Man"
So good!!! Another kind of bluesy ballad by him is New York State Of Mind. It's one of my favorites by him.
Wait till you see him sing this live... hope you listen to Longest Time next. Thank you
This one is wonderful. My absolute favorite from Billy Joel is "Just the way you are." There have been a few renditions with the words & melody. I grew up listening to so much music thanks to my parents. Billy Joel has a wonderful sound in all of his music. He is packed with soul.â€
Another great one is She's got a way. I dedicated it to a young lady I loved, but never actually had a romantic relationship with.
Somewhere on the internet, I came across an article where Paul Simon was very critical about Billy's lyrics writing......I found that very hard to swallow.
Favorite - River of Dreams. Then there are so many to choose from like Keeping the Faith, It's Still Rock n Roll To Me, and the first song I remember hearing from Billy Joel Only the Good Die Young.
Great Reaction. I really like this song, it gets overlooked so much. It was not a hit song, but I still like it. BTW Billy Joe had 3 Greatest Hits Albums, and this song was not on any of those albums. To sad.
In almost all of his videos he plays the piano, with the exception of "A matter of trust", where he plays the guitar.
So very talented. I have probably spent more on his albums than other artists. 'Piano Man' is definitely within my top 10 songs of all time but my favorite one of his is 'Scenes from an Italian Restaurant' (simply a masterpiece). Plus I would sing this song here out LOUD...and yes, I can carry a tune, but NOTHING like Billy.
I love this song. What a fantastic singer/songwriter! I used to lie on my big sis's bedroom floor and listen to his album "The Stranger." â€ïž
I remember buying The Stranger, almost wore out that vinyl when it came out. Haha teenage girls....
Love Billy Joel and all his songs⊠a comedian once said âIâll have to say for a song called Piano Man that $&$$ guy playing the harmonica wouldnât shut up hahađđ đ
Thanks guys for all the great reactions as always!!!
Until The Night
You also need to react to "Scenes From An Italian Restaurant," from Joel's 1977 album "The Stranger." It's a tour de force.
He has so many great songs!
It's so true ...especially in politics Billy is a phenomenal songwriter and he can also tickle the ivories with the est of them.đ
đđđđ!
Keeping the Faith
This song comes from his 52nd St album. Another great song from this album is Zanzibar. For me The Stranger and 52nd St are my favorite albums of Billy's.
Thanks for reacting to my request đ. Written by Billy Joel. Great đ ballad.
Suggested video đč: Billy Joel sings I Go to Extremes.
all his songs are written by him.đ
@@markvanderstelt8999 Except 1 To Make You Feel My Love, written by Bob Dylan 2 Hey Girl written by Leonard Cohen 3 Code of Silence written and sang by Billy Joel and Cyndi Lauper
BIG MAN ON MULBERRY ST. Live from Russia. Or ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG live in Boston. ANGRY YOUNG MAN live in TOKYO 2006. And Billy just released his 1st single in 30 yrs! TURN THE LIGHTS BACK ON. Official video, not lyrical. You 2 are too cute together for words. Love watching your reactions â€
"Big Shot" đ¶ đ”
Please react to Billy Joel's "Only The Good Die Young"
Great song.
Please consider reacting to "River Of Dreams"
Had this song on a 45 rpm record. Almost wore it out in high school.
So true!!!! Especially in today's world!!!!!!!!!!!
Watch Angry Young Man, but a live version. Amazing piano work. Also My Life is an excellent song
Saw Billy in concert in December. The only concert I have ever been to where I wanted to turn around and go back and see/hear him again! Absolutely brilliant
i thought that was you at that show.
â€â€â€ Billy Joel!!!
