The only William Joel song I like. To be honest, I haven't heard a lot of his songs, but the ones I have seem to be a lot of the same style--romantic ballads. There's nothing wrong with that, but, in his case, they don't work for me. This song is completely different however. It's some combination of jazz and pop/rock, and I think it works really well. The trumpet solo is terrific, too.
