Details: Product description Billy Joel ~ Greatest Hits Vols. 1 & 2 Amazon.ca It’s one of the cruel ironies of music today that Billy Joel has been relegated to a kind of adult-contemporary hell, where his legacy is measured by soft-rock staples such as « Just the Way You Are, » « Piano Man, » and « New York State of Mind. » To be sure, well-crafted ballads are a part of his legacy, but they’re hardly the whole story, as this collection of his early and mid-period hits amply demonstrates. From the unbridled biographical boasting of « The Entertainer » and the ambitious storytelling of « Scenes from an Italian Restaurant » to the careening abandon of « Only the Good Die Young » and the thoughtful social commentary of « Allentown, » Joel was as complete an artist as the last three decades have produced. –Daniel Durchholz
