I was listening to Billy Joel's Keeping the Faith on the radio the other night and I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed listening to it.

Although containing a somewhat limited library of monsters (under 200), if you inserted a CD of Billy Joel's Glass Houses, you'd get the exact same monster each time.

He will live forever in our hearts and memories, I remember clearly dancing to Billy Joel's "Only the Good Die Young" with my brother and his friends at a Demolay function, I have found this to be sadly true.

From Suzanne on his first album, right up to Billy Joel's astoundingly resonant reading of Light As A Breeze on the newly-released tribute album, few songs in contemporary music glow with as potent a sense of longing as gleams in every word and note composed by Cohen.
Contemporary Jazz and Pop artists like Billy Joel, Elton John and Van Morrison are also featured.
Elton John tended to spice his songs with sweet blues vamps; Billy Joel improvised long atonal romps.
