#366 Billy Joel - The Stranger

Billy Joel is one of the most accomplished artists in the music business, ever. He has had 33 Top 40 hits, been nominate for 23 Grammy awards and won 6 times. He is the 6th best selling artist of all time and the 3rd best selling solo artist of all time selling more than 150 million albums during his career.

This album was Joel's 5th album released,  and it reached #2 in the US. It also was the start of 8 straight albums in the top 10 in the US, including 4 #1 albums. This guys knows how to write great songs and he is one heck of a piano player. Never having listened to the album I was surprised at how good it was and that 5 of the 8 songs were hits that I had heard previously. Really worth the listen.

"Moving Out"

"Just the Way You Are"

"Only the Good Die Young"

"She's Always A Women"

Tomorrow's Album #677 Pixies - Bossanova
