Billy Joel's 1989 Hit Became the Song He Once Called His Worst Track Ever

In fact, one of Joel's most famous songs is also his least favorite for a very surprising reason. A few of Joel's biggest hits and most beloved songs include "Piano Man", "The Longest Time", "Uptown Girl", and Just the Way You Are." The nearly five-minute-long pop-rock song is about the significant cultural and political events that occurred during Joel's lifetime, along with their ramifications. In fact, one of his earliest music breaks came when he became the opening act for The Beach Boys. In fact, the Beach Boys were among the most impactful bands that defined the 1960s and early 1970s.
