It's the podcast AND the album nobody wanted -- but we had to. Billy Joel's Greatest Hits Volume III. A lackluster collection of songs that mostly includes the entire album of Stormfront so -- just buy Stormfront if you're such a huge Stormfront lover. Yipes.

Billy's Joel's hugest, oddest, final number one hit that for some reason or another brings the crowd to its feet when he performs it as an encore on every single show for the past 15 years. You may love it, you may hate it, and if you do love it, you just can't figure out why. Billy himself says it's the worst melody he's ever written so WHY, is this 1989 song STILL popular 35 years later? Let's try and figure it out on this two parter of Billy Joel A to Z's, We Didn't Start the Fire.

It's the exciting V's Wrap Up. Our 5 episode series that. . . . just kidding. We're wrapping up the only V song in Billy's catalogue, our just becoming doctors guests and the Stranger Album. But what you'll really want to listen carefully for is the rankings. Oh, whatever, we'll just tell you -- we both rank Vienna as our number 1 V song. 🤪

This is it -- The Stranger Album Wrap Up. Billy Joel's greatest album AND one of the greatest albums of all time. Every song is a groundbreaking gem. Five of the nine songs are still played at every concert every month almost 50 years later. This three part Billy Joel A to Z episode includes the usual rankings and Weird Elon parodies and, of course, the magic of Paul Loren. As they say in the 1977 radio ad for the album - "you oughta know by now, Billy Joel on Columbia records and tapes". 😉

On May 5, 2023 Billy Joel played his monthly show at Madison Square Garden. However, for some reason he clearly heard our cries and went crazy and played multiple deep cuts that he rarely plays - AND, if he does - he certainly doesn't play them all in one concert. Dave's niece Dory and her roommates, Desi and Victoria, from medical school all went to the concert. Only one had ever been to a Billy Joel concert before. We decided to interview them to explain to them that they were witness to a most thrilling evening in Billy Joel concert history. An adorable podcast that needed to be put out immediately! 😀

Although never released as a single, people worship this song that kicks off the second side of Billy Joel's greatest album of all time. Vienna has reached new heights of popularity through Tik Tok, movies and TV and Billy plays it most every night at the MSG residency. It's constantly a favorite song choice of contestants on American Idol and the Voice as well. This song is going nuts and if that's not all - 40 years ago it got a big push from the TV Show Taxi and then 30 years after that from the classic RomCom 13 Going on 30. This song is all THAT.

Yes it's a lovely Wrap Up show for the letter "U". We'll talk Liberty DeVitto; the concert Danny, Dave and Elon attended; our "U" guest, Bob Golden; listener feedback and of course the two songs that begin with the letter "U". It's always a good time on Billy Joel A to Z.
