Fugazzi Grand III : My Top 500 Albums (#40)

(#40, River of Dreams by Billy Joel)

I had no idea at the time that this would be his last album, and if he never changes his mind, and this winds up being the last album he gave us, he ended with a bang.  Each side of the record has a different feel.  The first side, he's angry.  It's edgy.  It's fantastic.  On the second side, Joel sounds like he's accepted what he's angry about, and while the edge is not there, the songs still work.  Great, great album that I can't get enough of.









Take a listen to "No Man's Land" and "Two Thousand Years" ...
