Billy Joel

This triple play collects some of Billy Joel's biggest hits -- including two versions of "Honesty" and a prog-cum-reggae version of "Rosalinda's Eyes" -- by bringing together two of Joel's seminal albums, 1973's Piano Man and 1978's 52nd Street, with cuts from his 1987 Kohuept: Live in Leningrad. Though its sound quality isn't as high, the live album is the best, showing the fragility and authentic strain of his voice. It's better for its imperfections, despite the fact that it doesn't capture the tantrum he had in front of the crowd, shoving a piano off the stage.
