Nice list. I'm just completely baffled with the first entry - "You're My Home." You have Lennon/McCartney as co-writers to this Billy Joel song. Is there some kind of history to it that I've never heard about? Are they really credited somewhere?
That is the information CDDB provided on that song (the only one from that album). I tried looking online and didn't find anything to support the idea that Lennon and McCartney had any hand in this song, but forgot to take it out on this list. It could be a simple mistake, there certainly are plenty of those on this database!
