Why Billy Joel Is Considered a Legendary Songwriter

I haven't noticed a lack of appreciation, but idk how that could happen with a classic like this.
Someone wants try to tell me that Billy Joel isn't really that popular... I call it hogwash!
But I did...

That is really fascinating! I've always thought it would be cool to work a job like that or on a boat in general. It's unfortunate it's a dying career, but it's cool you can call yourself a baymans daughter. And I hope you can speak to your father in the future.
Thanks for sharing your story 😊
“It’s nine o’clock on a Saturday” is how I realized I might have a drinking problem. Legit wondered if he meant AM or PM. 😄
His music is so overplayed, I’d never seek it or him out. No disrespect to his talent, just not my cuppa.

Nothing can happen to the classic like this! And really? He is underupreciated? By whom?
I run karaoke and i can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that billy joel love reigns supreme.
Happy 70th Billy!
Playing at MSG tonight, wish i could go...
While I respect him, most of his music is too mainstream for my liking. There's also a Broadway-esque flavour to a lot of his music and I despise anything that reminds me of a Broadway musical...
I agree. I like him, he's part of my life but his music is very theatrical
