Piano Man - Billy Joel

Billy Joel has by far impacted a ton of musicians. I went to watch a few friends of mine play at Shuckers, a local bar in Hattiesburg, MS. Piano Man was one of the song played over the 3-4 hours I watched them. Since then Piano Man has been stuck in my head. Writing a song that can impact an individual enough to remember the melody and lyrics is a great task. Not many musicians and songwriters can accomplish the task of great writing. Billy Joel has blended the melody with lyrics and created a great song. "Piano Man" was ranked #421 in the 2004 List of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Having a song ranked so high is a complement and honor, but Billy Joel is for sure worthy of it. Piano Man is a hardcore song, wrote by a hardcore musician.
