Billy Joel's third "Greatest Hits" album is full of beautiful, evocative songs

Pros Songs from Billy's "final" 12-year recording period
Cons None! None whatsoever!
Recommended it? Yes

I have to admit it...I almost didn't buy this album.

When Billy Joel's Greatest Hits: Volume III was released in 1997, I wasn't sure if I wanted to purchase it. I hadn't bought many of Joel's post-An Innocent Man albums (although a few good friends had given me The Bridge, Kohcept, and... Read full review »

Pros Great songs, lots of variety
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

If you're a fan of Billy Joel or of light rock you'll love this album. It features 17 songs (listed below) and comes with a lyrical sheet. I personally love "Keeping The Faith," and "We Didn't Start The Fire." All of the songs are just as good though and there seems to be a song for just about any... Read full review »

Billy Joel's Third Greatest Hit Album is Addictive!

Pros 17 awesome Billy Joel songs!
Cons none
Recommended it? Yes

I don't know anyone who doesn't like Billy Joel; he has just the right mixture of pop/rock and light music to please... well, anybody. In fact, he may be the only artist that my husband and I agree on 100% - his albums always come along with us on road trips.

Recently I noticed that... Read full review »

Pros Great Songs
Cons N/A
Recommended it? Yes

I've been a Billy Joel fan since I can remember. The first time I saw "We Didn't Start The Fire" on MTV when that started. Since then I have always enjoyed Joels music. Some of the music from Vol. 1 and Vol 2. I had never heard until I bought the CD knowing that I was going to enjoy listening to... Read full review »

Good Songs, Bad Career Move

10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Some musical gems like "The River of Dreams" that show Joel's songwriting...
Cons Unnecessary cover songs thrown in at the end simply to lengthen the album!
Recommended it? Yes

If I could give 3 and a half stars I would, but out of loyalty and respect to Billy Joel, I'll round up rather than down. There is, after all, some great music on this album- "Leningrad", "We Didn't Start the Fire", "And So It Goes", "All About Soul", "Lullabye", and "The River of Dreams". I wish... Read full review »

GREATEST HITS VOLUME III Puts a Cap on Billy Joel's Extraordinary Rock/Pop Career

8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros GHv3 validates Storm Front as the greatest album; three good cover songs
Cons I found a couple of selections questionable
Recommended it? Yes

Released in 1997, Greatest Hits Volume III is Billy Joel's third album since KOHWEPT from 1987, first album since River of Dreams in 1993, and zero-th album featuring original songs. Although GHv3 takes two more songs from An Innocent Man, GHv3 also validates the greatness of Storm Front by taking... Read full review »

A Mixed Bag

Pros Good number of solid & recognizable tunes from the end of Joel's pop career.
Cons Missing hits, forgetable rarities & a nonsensical arrangement.
Recommended it? No

Well, Billy Joel had quite a pop music career, didn't he? It spanned three decades, produced twelve studio albums and enough hit songs to fill up three Greatest Hits collections quite nicely. It's unfortunate that the third collection wasn't put together all that well...

Each "Greatest... Read full review »

Pros A good selections of Joel's newer classics
Cons The three new songs are not my favorite

If you are a Billy Joel fan, this album is a necessity. This has many of his newer classics (the older of which are featured on his Best of Volumes I and II), as well as three new songs.

The classics include: Keeping the Faith, Innocent Man, Baby Grand (with Ray Charles), Lullabye, and The... Read full review »

Billy Joel a great artist. This collection being his third is just as marvelous as anything ever put out by him.
