Hard to beat Scenes from an Italian Restaurant… so many great tunes Billy
Always been my favourite.
That's tops for me, but there are so many to choose from. His latest will no doubt become top three for me.
...and "Movin' Out"
With Billy, there is no “best”, because they’re all great! There are “favorites”.
When I was around 18, "For the Longest Time" hit the airwaves. My friends and I learned the various harmonies and would drive around for hours singing the song.
I still love to sing that song. 🙂
Amazing tune…
Billy Joel is the Master of Melancholy. Adore him.
I think he's one of the best musical composers, ever. Massively, massively talented.
Vienna waits for you
Ridiculously under-known song.
Amazing song
Billy Joel is such a genius.
one of the best of his...."and you can have this heart to break..." grew up with Billy and still do...
Allentown is my favorite.
Within five seconds of him playing that intro I was in tears. Five seconds, no more!
exactly!
Discordant note - truly captivating
And So It Goes came out in 89' but he had written part of it years before and shelved it. I think this is about his relationship with Elle McPherson before he seriously started dating Christie Brinkley. They lived together in NYC for a while
Yes it is, I believe it is supposed to be released on An Innocent Album.
He spoke openly about that relationship with Howard before. So it wouldn't make sense for him to make Elle anonymous during this interview. So it's very doubtful it's about her. Billy pretty much exclusively dated models, so it can be anyone really.
So many classic songs but among my favorite is Vienna
When I heard captain jack for the first time, I was waiting in the car with a nice BUZZ as my friends were getting beer.. I still Remember that time.. my favorite song, so vivid
One of my favorite songs
So beautifully sad 💙
So many great songs. He is such a genius. I've been a fan since the 70's and had only in recent years accidently heard And So It Goes on the radio and I was in the car crying. The heartbreak of this song is real.
Nice little quick music theory lesson by Billy for Howard on what dissonant and suspended notes are. With quick illustrations. Why we "feel what we feel".
Scenes from an Italian Restaurant is the best song he ever wrote
He could have made 3 songs out of that.
@@cranez006 that's the magic
Yep
Definitely
New York State of Mind is his best song.
For me it's "New York State of Mind", which is a masterpiece.
Agreed.
He's fascinating. I love hearing about how he wrote songs. And he has so many great ones.
Listen to the demos of "Rosalinda's Eyes". The first demo is my absolute favorite. That's a musically brilliant mind in the works.
Love that song.
I became a fan of Billy Joel around the age of 10, in ‘83. I was camping with family and this kid around 8 was listening to his music and I was “what is this, it resonated with me”. 40 years on and still and always will be a HUGE fan.
Dissidence and Suspended chords tell the story as much as the words in this song. A masterpiece of music.
Billy Joel is in a great mood these days!!!
My favorite song by him...
Mine too, and it's not close. Which is really saying something cause I love a ton of his songs.
And So It Goes is a fantastic song!
I love so many Billy Joel songs… but this one just captures my heart ❤
Tearful... yet incredibly beautiful. ❤
I miss these interviews!!
He is the ultimate musician - saw him in concert and it was so awesome!❤
Its always Incredible to Learn the construction of a familiar song! Lova you Billy
This is my favorite of his as well. Hands down.
So many great songs, but the one that hits hard, to me, is Goodnight Saigon.
Allentown
Allentown
Also You're only human
This was my favourite too. Superb song.😢
UNREAL and beautiful tune!!
Totally agree with Billy. This is his best song.......and I love all his stuff.
By far my favorite billy joel song.
Billy, I know EXACTLY how that feels
I have to agree with Billy. In his vast catalogue of wonderful songs (MANY of which I adore), my favorite is “And so it goes”. It speaks such depth and truth.
An emotional masterpiece. It just gets you.
My top Billy Joel song, too.
I love Allentown because it seems so unique to his catalog.
I saw him give a lecture in Princeton about his songwriting and he brought his notebook and it’s a foot thick maybe thicker now. He also said that scenes from…. Was influenced from the Beatles golden slumbers because of the many different parts to it.
I agree this song is so beautiful
And So It Goes is fantastic. I agree that it is his best song, of many great songs....
I love this song
I agree - one of his best
It is my favorite song of his.
His best song is Lullaby. The music, the meaning behind the song and the production make it untouchable imo
Agree
Hell NO
I think that Billy Joel accommodated Howard Stern in order to illustrate techniques that evoke emotion, but there is no single song of his which outranks every song in his large catalog. This Is The Time is an equally good song on its own in that it is uniquely evocative.
What a great talent.
Howard is a superb interviewer…great questions in a conversation form.
My favourite Billy Joel song.
Scandinavian Skies is one that sticks out for me. Such a great song.
Agreed. But then - he has so many ...
I know that I'm in the minority here but I think his best song is "This is the Time"
Another great song!
Great hook!!
"Downeaster Alexa" is my all-time favorite.
What you think is his best song *is* what you think is his best song. That’s what differentiates the arts from everything else. It’s up to you and you can’t be wrong.
I love that entire album.
Elle McPherson
My favorite song of billy’s is the downeaster alexa
My favorite
This guy's a musical genius. I am a musician too, but I wish I had his talent!
Billy Joel Is One of The Best!
I love how hosed dogs into how he writes songs. It’s inspiring.
What a brilliant songwriter
Billy has sooo many great songs. Personally I think Honesty is the best.
A literal genius.
Not much of a Billy Joel fan, but this was a great listen. I love how he’s in touch with pianists from the past.
SO DAMN INTERESTING. GOOD INTERVIEW, HOWARD!
“my notebook had a lot of spare parts in it…”. How can you express it any better?
One of my favorite BJ songs.
This IS my favorite Billy Joel song. Sang it as a lullaby for my kids. Hope they don’t have issues later 🤔
Ready for his March 28 100th residency show 🔥🔥🔥
Need Howard back in the studio full time
Billy Joel is a national treasure........
THIS WAS/ IS ! MY FAVORITE SONG OF HIS I KNEW WAS SPECIAL THEN , AND NOT KNOWING IT WAS HIS TOO ! TO ME WHEN ONE HEARS SOME A JOEL SONG YOU CAN FEEL THE TOIL AND THE THINKING OF IT .I DONT KNOW EXACTLY WHY BUT I CAN FEEL THE "TOSSING AND TURNING AT NIGHT "AND WHEN HE JUST IN THIS VIDIO TALKS ABOUT IT YOU CAN SEE AND FEEL IT WAS WHAT IT WAS .
OKAY!
‘Sanctuary’ is a great J. Giles Band song… That whole album is amazing 🎉…
State of grace ...is a killer song.
Always favored "Tomorrow is Today"
Stern, you're a great interviewer.
Traveling Prayer is the one I'm mostly in awe of.
And So It Goes… pretty fair choice, considering it’s in my top 10 and my favourite on Storm Front.
As much as I've always loved this song, I've always thought it evokes the folksong "Barbra Allen"
"a sour note." Perfect description. 🎹
she’s got a way always gets to me
Please, dear Billy: add a couple of shows at the MSG in July!!! So we can all see you one last time!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
52nd St....my fav
Derek Tufnel explained this in Spinal Tap
Billy Joel - AKA musical genius!!!!!
Billy Joel is one of the best songwriters
Writing just one hit is almost a miracle. Writing 50 hits? Truly a 1 in a billion talent.
Probably he is the very best
@@cranez00650 hits???
@@leehaslam5751 33 hit the top 40. 50 hit the top 100.
@@cranez006 is a hit making the top 100?Id struggle to name 6 billy joel songs and so would 98% of people
“And so it goes and so it goes and so will you soon, I suppose.” Elle Macpherson
The phrase So It Goes always reminds me of Kurt Vonnegut,
I love to tell my oldest child that she is the way she is because she went to an Elton John/Billy Joel concert a month before she was born.
Honesty 🤗
Vienna is me and seth meyers favorite billy joel song....yep look it up.
Mine too! We all have great taste. 😊
❤
Allentown and Matter Of Trust are my favorites. The slower ballads feel kind of seventies schlocky.
Seventies schlocky is my jam.
AI summary: and you wrote a sad song.... yes.... and you sat down and wrote it... yes... and you felt sad and you played some sad chords... yes... and you knew you were going to do it... yes.... and when you played the sad chords you knew you were writing about heartbreak... yes... because your heart was broken... yes... [JK I love Billy Joel and this song!!]
I’d say scenes of Italian restaurant is my favorite
Where can i find the full interview?
Billy Joel being inducted into the Kennedy Center Honors, is amazing
Definitely a highlight of my life!
My life is one of te best
New York State of Mind
Yes.
Wow Howard back in the studio?
All of his major interviews lately (Bruce, Keith and this one will Billy)..have all been in the studio lately....which is great!
He’s in the Miami stidio
