"New York State OF Mind" - convincing lyrics and performance, and a near Elton level of quality.

Picked "The Stranger" because Piano Man put some rockin' guitars on that motherfucker.

Probably the best greatest hits CD ever
Well, no, but "Movin' Out" is truly incredible.

This is where the best tracks are gathered:
The StrangerScenes from an Italian RestaurantJust The Way You AreMovin' Out (Anthony's Song)
Voted for "Scenes From An Italian Restaurant" but it might as well have been one of the others. "The Stranger" is obviously the superior album.

No - that's gotta be "Greatest Hits I & II." But this looks okay. Couple of weird picks but a wall of huge classics. I've been rocking "Say Goodbye To Hollywood" more and more these last few years but I think it's gotta be "Movin' Out" or "Italian Restaurant."

Scenes from an Italian Restaurant.but which compilation is this? some versions of said song on some comps are truncated. i have a live version where he hits those first 5 piano notes and the next 30 seconds are all but obscured by crowd hysteria. always raises a smile.

He wouldn't be, he works across from the medical centre, so he wouldn't be in the frame of a photo taken facing the medical centre.

Went with "She's Always a Woman". Prefer the Piano Man comp.

Movin Out is magisterial. So I voted for it.
― Drugs A. Money, Saturday, 11 October 2008 19:45 (fifteen years ago) link
I woulda said "Piano Man" until recently when I heard it twice in a day and got kinda sick of it. So I'm saying "She's Always A Woman" instead. Evidently I have a weakness for those 3/4 minor-key piano ballads.
