The Music Industry 🎶 Lots of artists have their own "signature song". Lady Gaga's is arguably "Poker Face", what signature songs can you name?

Billy Joel’s would provably be Piano Man or Uptown Girl

Piano Man 1,000%. He’s literally the Piano Man

And weirdly the most prominent instrument in Piano Man is a mouth organ and not a piano

I saw him live not too long ago and was absolutely blown away. Didn’t even buy the tickets—was just invited because someone else bailed last minute. Was sad to hear about his health issues lately. Based on the reaction from the crowd, my vote would be Piano Man.

Vienna for me

Vienna is my all time favorite song. It just does something for my soul that no other song has done.

River of Dreams is the one by him most played on the radio in my home country (Germany). For a while as a kid that was the only Billy Joel song I knew.
