Billy Joel. Choose any song from any album between 1971 and 1983 and I will tell you how much I love it and exactly why. I will remember where I was when I first heard it, and talk about how I wore down the needle on the record player, and made scratches in the albums. Especially 52nd Street. That said, impossible to choose a single Billy Joel song, so here are 2 of my stand-outs, Honesty and An Innocent Man. You can pick your own.
