“Great Wall of China,” to its credit, is a lot of fun to sing along to while driving.

My favorite deep cut is “Code of Silence” from The Bridge--the only released song where Joel shares a writing credit with someone alive. (Cyndi Lauper, to be specific, who also sings on the track. Mozart is cocredited on “This Night.”)
The weakest song on River of Dreams is explicitly “No Man’s Land,” which is a shitty retread of “Allentown” without that song’s heart or cleverness.
I should try pulling it out again. I bought it for next to nothing a couple of years ago and tried to play it, but just couldn’t get the hang of the grapple controls. (Pun mildly intended.)
If I can, I'd like to stump for THE DEAD HAND, which has the craziest last-page-of-issue-one twist I can recall since the original run of THUNDERBOLTS.
