The Complete Albums Collection

Billy Joel
Rock · 2014

Editors’ Notes Billy Joel was among the most successful musicians of the 20th Century. His best-known songs are classics and his live performances are arena-sized parties, with fans of all ages singing along to his every word. Here are his 14 albums and a 17-track ‘Collected Additional Masters’ that features individual songs that never made a proper album. Songs like “Piano Man,” “Just the Way You Are,” “Movin’ Out,” “Big Shot,” “My Life,” “You May Be Right,” “Allentown,” “Say Goodbye to Hollywood,” “The Longest Time” and countless other hits made Joel a radio staple, but it’s the deep album cuts such as “Summer, Highland Falls,” “Until the Night,” “Through the Long Night,” “Big Man On Mulberry Street” and “Famous Last Words” that made his albums stand out. (Though, every album is also packed with hits!) River of Dreams was his final ‘pop’ album and Opus 1-10 Fantasies & Delusions: Music or Solo Piano was his public foray into classical music, before he semi-retired from music. It’s a shame, but Joel wished to go out on top. Clearly, he has.
