"You can have all the Billy Joels ... except The Stranger"
- Alec Newbury
This was the album that began the working relationship between Billy Joel and Phil Ramone, a relationship that lasted for six albums between 1977 and 1986. In Fugazzi Grand : My Top 1,000 Songs of All Time, four of these nine tracks made my top 40, and two others cracked the top 1,000. This is the album that made Billy Joel a household name, and is a must own if you love storytelling and great musicianship.
Take a listen to "Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)", "Scenes From an Italian Restaurant" and "Vienna" ...
