The Stranger

Song: "The Stranger"
Artist: Billy Joel
Album: The Stranger

Billy Joel has been writing music and performing for over three decades, but I still think The Stranger is his best album ever. He had a big hit with "Piano Man" in the mid-70's but it was this album that put him on the map. I'll bet no one remembers this title track as well as they remember "Just the Way You Are" or "Only the Good Die Young." The song sounds a bit dated now, but I still think it's better than any of the big hits.
