Top 5 Billy Joel Songs - Progressive Rock Music Forum

^^ I've heard the air is a bit thin at the summit of Olympus Mons. After all, it's the highest volcano in the entire Solar System at 72,000 feet high (or nearly 14 miles high!).

That's Mount Everest in the foreground as a comparison.

Has he ever done anything epic ?? What’s his longest song ?? The Stranger ??

I've done a bit of research and as far as I'm aware, "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant" is Billy Joel's longest song with a running time of 7:39. Not quite an epic, but it's pretty long by Pop/Rock standards.

Does he ever play anything but piano / electric piano ??

He can play the harmonica and some basic chords on guitar, but he's primarily the Piano Man.

^^ Billy Joel appears to me more popular here than Barclay James Harvest, if the response to my two concurrent Top 5 and Top 7 polls is anything to go by.

1. Movin’ Out
2. Scenes from an Italian Restaurant
3. You May be Right
4. Allentown
5. Zanzibar
