This poll is about him as a singer/songwriter, not a person.

Obviously a FF, his work has scored me a post-karaoke kiss or two ... I owe the guy.

Yeah, back when the booze flowed and the air was filled with Mary Jane, Billy Joel ruled.

I'm not a huge fan and I'm not even sure I really respect him musically, but for some reason....like 5...7...8 of his songs I really really like.  Allentown, Pressure, Big Shot, Only the Good Die Young, Movin Out, My Life, Piano Man and embarrassingly, Uptown Girl.

edit-but most of his work I find rather boring.

A real classic.

Not as good as Elton John though.

For me, he's in the "good but not great" category. FF overall. There's a lot of stuff a lot worse than him.

The man knows how to write music.  Miami 2017 is a good example of this....eerily prophetic, and he wrote it in 1978!! :-O Smiley

I don't have a strong opinion of him either way. Voted FF to give him the benefit of the doubt.

I'm willing to concede that that's a great song, and debatably his best. However, a lot of his music is very overrated.

*listens*

Uh, what the hell? This isn't even the best song from him.

I actually like one of his songs. Guess which one. My parents liked to listen to him on long car trips so I heard a lot of his music, along with Elton John, John Denver, Joan Baez, Harry Chapin and Bob Dylan.
