Recently I've come to the realization that Joel may be the second greatest pop singer/songwriter of all time, just behind Lennon and McCartney. The breadth and depth of his work, and the staggering number of hits, really make him stand out. You could maybe make an argument for the Rolling Stones, the Eagles, Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, or Paul Simon, but Joel is a special talent.
He's certainly up there with the best of them.
My fav Joel song...
