The Piano Man!

Hey Friends Oz here to supply you with a great blog about, What is my favorite singer/band and what makes them so excellent? Let me start this off by stating that I am not a music guy but I do like very few singers and bands. Elton John is one of my all time favorites. The guy knows how to put on a show and his voice is so electric. Sir Elton John is a music legend and my goodness can you feel the love tonight? It doesn't get any better than Elton John and Your Song that is an absolute classic. It has been used in several films most notably Moulin Rouge. Another one of my favorite artists would have to be Barry Manilow! Yes, I know he's old but wow what a great vocalist and musician. With songs like Mandy, Copacabana, Can't smile without you and many more. Barry Manilow has appeared as a guest judge on American Idol a couple of years back and he has nothing but good feedback. Now how about some bands I only like two so I will cover each of them for ya. First off the Beach Boys are like SOOO rad dude! With songs like surfin USA, California Girls, FUN FUN FUN, Little Saint Nick, Barbara Anne and many more. With the high pitched voices and the pizazz of the 1950's the Beach Boys will always be on the top of my list. Keep on rocking the beach boys surfs up dudes and dudets! The Beatles wow a cult following all across the world. I don't think you won't find anyone who doesn't like the Beatles or at least respect them. Songs like Hey Jude, Let it be and Let's get together and so many more. I would also like to state the case for ABBA who I just discovered over the summer because of Mama Mia. They have tons of songs like Mama Mia, S.O.S, Gimmie Gimmie, Dancing Queen, Waterloo, Take A Chance On Me, The Winner Takes It all, Money Money Money and so many more. It is now time to reveal what my favorite singer/band is and why they are so excellent? When push comes to shove there is only one guy that is my number one artist and that name is none other than Billy Joel "The Piano Man"! Billy Joel has so many hits it's not even funny. Just to name a few we got The Piano Man, New York State Of Mind, Moving Out, Honesty, Big Shot, The Longest Time, Uptown Girls and so many more. All his music is full of passions and most of the songs are from his past life experiences and that's awesome. Why is he so excellent because he's the man and that's the bottom line! The Piano Man gotta love it! On a side notes I own all the greatest hits of the above topics up for discussion accept for the Beatles which that may have to change. Oz wants to know who or what is your favorite singer/band and why are they so freaking excellent? Well until next time may the Oz always be with you so long!
