1-2, was a double-LP set and so was 2001's The Essential, so just having a 19-track summation of Joel’s career is useful, but fortunately, The Hits accomplishes its job well. True, it bends the rules a little - the opening Everybody Loves You Now never charted, nor did New York State of Mind, and there are some notable absences, chief among them his first Top Ten hit Just the Way You Are and Uptown Girl, along with the anthem Scenes from an Italian Restaurant - but what’s here constitutes Billy’s basic canon: Piano.

The Ballad Of Billy The Kid. Worse Comes To Worst. If I Only Had The Words (To Tell You). Somewhere Along The Line. A triumph of technology and design, with respect for history in every detail, The Complete Albums Collection features 14 classic Billy Joel albums plus a bonus disc of rare and original recordings.

Billy Joel's Greatest Hits is a collection released in two sets, 12 years apart. The first set, consisting of two discs, titled Volume I and Volume II, was released in 1985.

Two previously unreleased studio tracks are included, "To Make You Feel My Love" and "Hey Girl", while the third new track, "Light as the Breeze", was originally recorded for a Leonard Cohen tribute album known as Tower of Song in 1995. All three tracks are newly recorded covers (a rare occurrence in his catalogue)

Album · 2010 · 19 Songs. While The Hits offers nothing new for the hardcore fan, it’s a solid collection for those who are just getting caught up.
