 | | Joel's next album, The Bridge, wasn't as heavily filled with happy songs as An Innocent Man was, but the album wasn't bereft of them. | | | Another popular single from the album was "The Downeaster 'Alexa'". | | | There are two happy love songs on the album, and a song about the bond he's formed with his piano. |

| | However, the masters to the album were recorded at the wrong speed, and the album was released with this error. | | | Joel denies any influence of Elton John on his music, but there is still a similarity between his early music and Elton's. | | | He produced pop music hits from 1973 (beginning with the single "Piano Man") to his retirement from the genre in 1993. |

| | In the spring of 1980, Joel released Glass Houses, theoretically a harder-edged album that was a response to the punk and new wave movement. | | | Several of the songs on the album were about model Christie Brinkley, who was engaged to Joel by the time the album was released. | | | Joel refashioned himself as a sensitive singer/songwriter for his debut album, Cold Spring Harbor, which was released in November of 1971. |

| | [Audiophile Asylum] CD Reviews: Billy Joel |
| | There isn't a bad song on the album, which is not something I can say about most of Billy Joel's albums. | | | Usually, I don't care for entire Joel albums, but this album only has one song on it I don't care for and that is When in Rome which just seems a bit irritating to be blunt. | | | I thought maybe the problem was bad mastering on previous albums, but I bought a remastered version of his Live album from Russia and it sounds just as bad as the original release in the presentation. |

| | Billy Joel |
| | It is thus an album of, well, album tracks, but for album tracks they are pretty good. | | | One of the ideas behind a live album is to use the energy and rush of a live show to better the studio versions of an artists' songs, but there isn't one track on this album that I could say I prefer to the original, which means the live album has failed. | | | A live album from Joel's 1987 tour of Russia, and unfortunately, one of the worst sounding live albums I've ever heard. |

| | Bridge by Joel Billy (lyrics & reviews) |
| | The album's one lowlight is the predictable and insipidly sappy "This Is The Time", which has become prom fodder. | | | I bought this album because of This is the Time, it's a great song with a great beat. | | | The final "bridge" is that the songs on this album hark back to Billy's earlier albums, such as, "52nd Street" and "The Stranger". |

| | Kohuept by Joel Billy (lyrics & reviews) |
| | In comparison to the Piano Man's studio albums, the sound has a less-polished yet more honest quality to it. | | | The album has a great energy and is practically dripping with feelings of Glasnosting. | | | If you want to hear Billy Joel live, pick up his "Songs in the Attic" CD, which is the polar opposite of Kohuept: energetic, virtuosic and incredibly engaging. |

| | Rock On The Net: Billy Joel |
| | Joel was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. | | | The LP didn't break any doors down for Joel mainly due to a lack of promotion for the music and faulty mixing of the LP and soon he was in Los Angeles working as a lounge pianist (calling himself "Bill Martin"). | | | Joel's "underground" hit "Captain Jack" eventually led to a record contract with Columbia Records. |

| | Billy Joel has just released Greatest Hits Volume III, which includes songs from An Innocent Man, The Bridge, Storm Front and River of Dreams.There are also three new songs tagged at the end, which sadly, do not count among Joel's "greatest" work. | | | There is a sonic sink's worth of sound effects strewn throughout these tracks, from echoey vocal bits (courtesy of Trixie Reiss) to elevator sounds to synthesized warbles and squiggles. | | | Opening with the sumptuous, mysterious groove of "Trip Like I Do" (which appears with additional music by Filter on the Spawn soundtrack), Vegas is a beat-happy feast of modern ambient looping dance music. |

| | Last year, Billy Joel announced that he would no longer be writing any pop songs and would concentrate on his classical scores. | | | A double encore ended the concert, with the fans not allowing Joel to leave without bringing out his harmonica and playing "Piano Man." His performance lived up to the legendary status his albums have given him. | | | Although this may be his last concert tour, Joel demonstrated that he still had the energy and talent that made him a legend. |

| | Once the songs from The Stranger arrive halfway through the first disc, there's no stopping the hits (although "Scenes From an Italian Restaurant," an album track from The Stranger, manages its way onto the collection). | | | Beginning with "Piano Man," the first disc runs through a number of early songs before arriving at the hit-making days of the late '70s; some of these songs, including "Captain Jack" and "New York State of Mind," weren't strictly hits, but were popular numbers within his stage show and became radio hits. | | | In fact, over the next disc and a half, there's so many hits, it's inevitable that some are left off -- to be specific, "Honesty," "Sometimes a Fantasy," "An Innocent Man," "Leave a Tender Moment," and "Keeping the Faith" aren't included. |
