Replies for this Album

Since I was 8, i started stealing a tape from the oldest of my 12 siblings, in which the first song was piano man. It was amazing for me. But the first time I was really shocked was when i heard this record for the first time (also stolen). Then I became a really billymaniac. Now, the youngest of my six sons and daughters is called Billy. Few people in Spain understand it. Many people think i'm crazy. Yes, i am a real billymaniac. And my wife and the six too!!

I have been listening to Billy Joel since I was born. Many good memories happened while listening to his music and when I listen to it today it reminds me of those memories of the time I spent growing up with my mom.

I can't say I have any favorite songs because I love them all!! Ok, maybe I'm a little partial to "Scene's from an Italian Restaurant"

Keep on Rockin Billy!! I love you and your music!!!

I came to like me since I heard Billy Joel for the first time in 1980.
In 1983, I practiced a piano and got possible to play the introduction of most Billy Joel.

:)

i think my favroit song in this thing is "vienna". it is a great song. me and one of my best friends, alyssa made up a dance to it. its really fun to sing and dance to. though i really suck at dancing.

As a kid in highschool in '78' this album amazed me with his ability as a musician, singer and showman and truly a talented individual.
The greatest compliment to any artist is the test of time and Billy Joel has maintained rank as one of the best.

Amazing music from the only Piano Man. Great album. Billy Joel has also helped me on the piano, and with music period. The Stranger is one of the best albums ever!

I love this album!!! Billy Joel has been one of my main "teachers" on the piano. I learned to play by copying what I heard on his songs. The Stranger is probably my favorite of all of his songs, alongside Piano Man and Keeping the Faith.

Just bought this limited edition box set whilst on holiday in New England last week.
Already thrilled at the inclusion of the little "notebook" which shows all the original hand-written lyrics by Joel (and the changes to words that he made whilst composing the superb original Stranger LP).

Can't wait to play of the old BBC Whistle Test tracks as this show is rarely shown by the BBC ) I think I've only seen it broadcast twice in the UK in my lifetime) and is always in an edited version.

Great treat.
