'The Longest Time' and 'An Innocent Man'. I love BJ - great sing-a-long songs (as my poor neighbours know).

New York State of Mind, Movin'Out (Antony's Song), James, in fact any and all up until Uptown Girl, which was his Yoko Ono moment.

Goodnight Saigon- the most powerful anti-war song
The Downeaster Alexa -amazing listening to it up in Montauk.
The Piano Man - stunning
Uptown Girl - happy and uplifting song.
