Billy Joel Music Piano Medley

Hello Youtube!

So, I'm finally back with yet another piano medley. This video has probably been years in the making in that I kept going back and forth as to whether I would ever do it. To me, Billy Joel is such an unbelievable talent that I wasn't sure (and still am not!) that I could do his music justice.

I apologize that the medley is ridiculously long, but there are a few reasons for this. Probably most important is that fact that there is so much amazing Billy Joel music out there! I mean -- I just put together 25 of his greatest hits and there are still many more! The second reason this is so long is that thanks to the American Board of Radiology, I just had a crazy 18 section new board exam that required a lot of time for studying and very little time for posting videos. I just kept adding songs to the medley thinking...I'll just post them all after the test.

Anyway, again, I present you with 25 of his greatest hits in a little over 25 minutes, beginning with Pressure (as I could most relate to this song during boards studying!) and ending with...what else...Piano Man. If you're the one person who actually made it to the end -- you're awesome. Please let me know who you are! If you're disappointed that I left out and/or butchered your favorite Billy Joel songs, well...I couldn't play EVERYTHING, and I'm only human (ie not Billy Joel).

Lastly, (sorry, apparently I'm long winded in everything I do) If you are only familiar with some of his music, I would urge you to check out more of it -- I promise it will be time well spent. In the same vein, I would just like to point out that it pays to seek out good music. It seems like we live in an era where overly-produced music can compensate for a lack of talent/substance. It may take a little extra work to go digging for the "good stuff," but it is worth it!

In order, the songs are:

1. Pressure
2. Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)
3. Allentown
4. And So It Goes
5. Just the Way You Are
6. New York State of Mind
7. Goodnight Saigon
8. Scenes from an Italian Restaurant
9. Uptown Girl
10. I Go To Extremes
11. My Life
12. It's Still Rock and Roll to Me
13. The Longest Time
14. She's Always a Woman
15. She's Got a Way
16. Don't Ask Me Why
17. Summer Highland Falls
18. The Downeaster Alexa
19. This Is the Time
20. Leningrad
21. Vienna
22. We Didn't Start the Fire
23. Nocturne
24. Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel)
25. Piano Man
