It included "Just the Way You Are" which IIRC was "Song of the Year" for 1977. Other classics on it were "Movin' Out", "The Stranger" and "Only the Good Die Young."

IMHO, Joel did his best work in the '70s. "Glass Houses" was his last really good album. "Songs from the Attic" was a "Best Of" type of album and "The Nylon Curtain" had just two good songs ("Allentown" and "Pressure").

After "The Nylon Curtain", Joel met Christie Brinkley and he jumped the shark. I know he had some hit songs after that point but he morphed from a talented rock artist to a pop singer in the '80s.

There's a reason why "classic rock" stations almost never play anything Joel released after "Glass Houses".
