ABBA IS Classic Rock! ...and so is this. I don't like fags or deserters, but I still listen and enjoy Elton John and Bruce Springsteen's music. You can rag on someone who looks funny or does something that's politically incorrect, but when it's all said and done, for most of us, the music is what's left and that's important. It takes different people different directions and that's okay. A classic is just that. Some say potato.

Oh yea, I agree with silverlolo..."classic rock" and "rock" should not be tags for this song, or for any Billy Joel song! Next ABBA will be tagged as "classic rock".....

Love this song, but I still think he looks like a chick (an ugly one) on the cover of this album.

It's certainly the song that Billy is best known for... let's hope he doesn't hit any more trees and drive through neighbors's front windows.
