The sixth studio album by Billy Joel, 52nd Street would have to be my favorite.  Having been around for quite a while when this album was released, Honesty is my favorite song on this record, because of course so many can relate.  I think what makes Billy Joel so unique, other than his sensible piano skills are the lyrics of each song.  Some are questionable, but with this record, My Life is a way of showing that no matter what, it's his life.  Crushing on this music at such a young age, I appreciate it now, as an adult more than I ever did as a kid.  I'm very thankful for being exposed to such greatness at an early age, because when I come across these records today, the words sink in better.

Enjoy!
