I have about half of his albums but I just never get the inclination to play them. To me, he is a singles artist, so I just play the Greatest Hits.

In a clip from Colbert Billy Joel named his top 5 tracks. He said he tends to like the album tracks.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEXQaxUjesE&t=502s

Billy's top 5:
1. Scenes From An Italian Restaurant 2. She's Right On Time 3. You May Be Right 4. And So It Goes 5. Vienna

I tend to agree about the album tracks. My Top 5 would be:
1. Miami 2017 (Seen The Lights Go Out On Broadway) 2. New York State Of Mind 3. Zanzibar
4. Goodnight Saigon 5. This Is The Time

I don't think too many people are following this thread as Linda hoped.

I'm a little weird when it comes to Billy Joel. I never bought his lps when he was big because the songs were on the radio every day especially here on Long Island.

But in the CD era I really liked his later efforts so I mostly listened to:

The Bridge
Storm Front
River Of Dreams


Least:

Cold Spring Harbor
Streetlife Serenade
Kohuept
