    Awe man, that is a tough question, I love Billy Joel! There's She is Always a Woman, Honesty, And So It Goes, and anything from the An Innocent Man and Glass Houses albums. But as I have gotten older I am especially fond of The Downeaster 'Alexa'. "I've got bills to pay and children who need clothes" I just celebrated my 32nd birthday. Happy Birthday me!

    I like Billy Joel, but I fear I don't really pass the fan test. A casual liking thing.

    Probably Laura. I love the Nylon Curtain.

    Ahh! I love Billy Joel.

    My favorite is a Captain Jack.

    Tie for second is For the Longest Time and Piano Man.

    Definately one of the best lyricists and song writers of all time.

    And I'm 17.

    "She's Always a Woman to Me."

    My favorite lyrics:

    She can kill with a smile, she can wound with her eyes

    She can ruin your faith with her casual lies

    And she only reveals what she wants you to see

    She hides like a child, but she's always a woman to me

    She can lead you to love, she can take you or leave you

    She can ask for the truth, but she'll never believe you

    And she'll take what you give her as long it's free

    Yeah, She steals like a thief, but she's always a woman to me

    Yes, I am a Billy Joel fan (age 33--but I got carded for a rated R movie a month ago, so age is just a number)
