Song title: Allentown
Artist: Billy Joel
Year: 1982
Why I like this song:
So the piano man tackles a protest song? About a mining town in recession? It sounds like a strange combination but here it works. Props to Billy to coming with some really hard-hitting lines for a son that, unfortunately, is still relevant

Song title: Just the Way You Are
Artist: Billy Joel
Year: 1977
Why I like this song:
Last year I spent the month of February talking about some love songs I liked. So why not do it again?
I love this song for it's simplicity and it's honesty. And that is more than enough
Sure Billy has been a punchline for critics for years but in the end, you can't deny he can pump out a cracking song.
