- WITHOUT QUESTION, THE BEST BILLY JOEL CD EVER!!!!!

If you're looking for one CD that encompases Billy Joel's entire career, this is definitely it. Actually, it's a 3-CD package that contains ALL of his hits. The 2-CD release, "The Essential Billy Joel" left out several Billy Joel hits, including "Worse Comes To Worse", "Angry Young Man", "Scenes From An Italian Restaurant", "Big Shot", "All For Leyna", "Pressure", and "This Is The Time". Those songs are on this CD, along with the 36 songs on the original "Essential" CD. If you're a long-time Billy Joel fan like myself, you'll love this CD!! It's sheer perfection, as far as I'm concerned. Buy it!!

- Comparison with 2 Disc Version

Here is a comparison of the two disc versus the three disc versions of The Essential Billy Joel. All chart positions are from Billboard's Hot 100 Singles Charts.

Songs on 2 Disc Essential Billy Joel that are NOT on Essential 3.0:

You're Only Human (Second Wind) (#9)

Modern Woman (#10)

Everybody Loves You Now

Streetlife Serenader

She's Got A Way (Studio Version)

Songs on Essential 3.0 that are not on the two disc version:

Big Shot (#14)

Pressure (#20)

She's Got A Way (Live Single Version) (#12)

Only The Good Die Young (#24)

And So It Goes (#37)

Lullaby (Goodnight, My Angel) (#77)

Worse Comes To Worst (#80)

Captain Jack

Prelude/Angry Young Man

Scenes From An Italian Restaurant

Waltz No. 1

Invention In C Minor

Charting singles on NEITHER collection:

Modern Woman (#10)

Say Goodbye To Hollywood (Live Single Version) (#17)

Keeping The Faith (#18)

The Night Is Still Young (#34)

Sometimes A Fantasy (#36)

To Make You Feel My Love (#50)

That's Not Her Style (#77)

All Shook Up (#92)

Both collections contain 25 charting singles, 22 of which made the Top 40, 8 of those made the Top Ten, and three went all the way to #1 (It's Still Rock 'N Roll To Me, Tell Her About It, and We Didn't Start The Fire.)

Overall, I recommend this as the most comprehensive Joel collection available. If only they had filled out Disc Three with his ten remaining charting singles, we might have had a perfect collection. (My personal favorite missing track is "Keeping The Faith," but heck, there are still five other tracks here from An Innocent Man.)

- This is a great collection of Billy Joel's best songs!

This collection is great! I have always liked his music and to get a compilation of his greatest hits is just about "the best thing I've ever known". If you REALLY like Billy Joel, you will REALLY enjoy this!
