With a career spanning over fifty years, Billy Joel remains one of the highest-selling and most-revered musicians to come out of the American singer-songwriter boom of the late 20th century. He's about to play his 50th consecutive show at Madison Square Garden, and he doesn't show signs of slowing down even as he stands on the precipice of seventy.

So in this year of anniversaries, you may wonder: What is the best song on each Billy Joel album?
Let's take a look.
