Note: I probably like "We On" more than all of these songs, but I believe that's a Gemini song featuring Lupe...

I'm sure there will be some salt thrown, but these songs have some hits and some songs show the versatility that kept LL going for 20 years.

...only way I was able to do this was to ignore Speakerboxxx / The Love Below and Big Boi's last solo record, though "She Lives In My Lap", "Unhappy", "Vibrate" and "Church" all mean a lot to me. 'Kast is my favorite group, man...this was difficult.

George Harrison wrote some incredible songs and he's underrated next to the Lennon/McCartney hubris. I am a huge John Lennon fan though, I just deserves mention that Harrison wrote some of the Beatles best songs.

BUT, if I had to do it again...
I Saw Her Standing There She Loves You I'll Follow the Sun And I Love Her Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) For No One And Your Bird Can Sing Happiness is a Warm Gun The Ballad of John and Yoko You Never Give Me Your Money
But I could probably make 3 more of these and it'd be a toss up as to which one is best. For example, I still haven't included MARTHA MY DEAR, which might be my favorite Beatles song.
I'm So Tired You Never Give Me Your Money It's All Too Much The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill Rocky Racoon Two Of Us I'm Only Sleeping Wait A Day In The Life Girl Don't Let Me Down I've Got A Feeling I Want You (She's So Heavy) Here Comes The Sun

I’d rather sojourn into self till I reached the epitome of spiritual splendor Haters fender bender beat down and ostracize the dreamer But its more than dreams when the inner light is revealed through the cracks of façade-stephanie (me)
Kind of a meat and potatoes list, but I wanted to include the essentials:
Blowin' in the Wind Don't Think Twice, It's Alright Maggie's Farm Like A Rolling Stone Positively 4th Street Visions of Johanna Tangled up in Blue Simple Twist of Fate Hurricane Changing of the Guards
And even then I didn't include anything past '78, nor did I include a lot of shit I really wanted to include:
It's All Over Now, Baby Blue Masters of War Subterranean Homesick Blues I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine Queen Jane Approximately Wedding Song Desolation Row Ballad of a Thin Man Forever Young I Shall Be Released Blind Willie McTell etc. etc. etc.

I was motivated to make this list to emphasize my appreciation of these Billy Joel songs MUCH MORE than some of his other well-known songs. Not mainly because these songs are merely better than those not mentioned.
1. She's Got A Way 2. New York State Of Mind 3. Vienna 4. The River Of Dreams 5. Summer, Highland Falls 6. Big Man On Mulberry Street 7. We Didn't Start The Fire 8. Uptown Girl 9. Scenes From An Italian Restaurant 10. And So It Goes
