This is a great album, though it's hard to be objective when I've heard most of these songs hundreds of times.
Only the Good Die Young - One of my favorite songs of all time and my go to when I think about "favorite Billy Joel song".
Just the Way You Are - Has grown on me tremendously over the years; it's just a beautiful song that's even better here because the Greatest Hits version is missing a verse or two.
Scenes from an Italian Restaurant - Just a stone cold classic.
The Stranger - I've been known to whistle this at random just for fun.
Movin' Out (Anthony's Song) - Solid song though I always get a little bored of it before the very end.
Vienna - Easily the best of the 3 "new to me" songs. As an aside, something about the opening piano notes and the lyric "Vienna is waiting for you" reminded me of Boxing by Ben Folds Five ("has boxing been good to you"). I did a quick listen to that again and, ye gods, it's like my brain forgot how bad Ben Folds singing is. Also, not really that similar!
Get It Right the First Time - Perfectly fine but nothing special.
She's Always a Woman - Despite this being a Greatest Hit, I've just never been a big fan of this song.
Everybody Has a Dream - Not terrible but easily the bottom of the list for me.
