| Very funny you should say that! I started listening to Billy Joel obsessively when I was 11, and in the next two years collected every album he did, even Atilla vinyl and stuff, started emailing back and forth with Libery DeVitto with questions and stuff. When I was 13 my obsession turned to Jim after listening to Two Outta Three some hundreds of times at my summer cottage, after finding it on a Mouldy-Oldy-Goldy tape. Jim became my new favourite, and being a 27 year old woman I sometimes describe myself as a "closet-Billy-Joel fan" with those I'm prepared to share that information with :) I remember being a teenager, going to a friends house and their parents ask, "What kind of music do you like?", because I played professionally at the time. Well, when "Meat Loaf and Billy Joel" is the first things out of your mouth, I guess it's a little weird. I don't find them very different. I find Billy Joel very, HUMAN. Rather than Jim, who I find very MYTHICAL, and EPIC. But they both have so much soul in their work, they both are inspired by theatre, and they both are inspired by, and listen mainly to classical music and operas. It shows so much in their work. Love 'em. As far as favourite album, I'd probably have to say "The Stranger". I do like An Innocent Man as well, but there's just too much happy in such a short album. I need to mellow out through all that happy. > Billy Joel is our (mine and my husband, Martin who is also > a SteinFan to the max) second favourite. Brilliant guy. > And oh how we love our piano based songs. | |
