Just The Way You Are, good love making track

Scenes from and Italian Restaurant, Only The Good Die Young, Just The Way You Are, and Movin Out

"Vienna" is a really, really pretty mid-tempo song, with more great, poignant lyrics and really pretty instrumentation - I love the way the accordion sounds here

Songs like Movin Out, Only the Good Die Young, Just the Way You Are, and Scenes from an Italian restaurant showcase the songwriting craft of Billy Joel

And while those are all great and deserve a place in history, and I love them all in their own weird ways, nothing will ever affect me like The Stranger did

Just the Way You Are received a Grammy Award in 1978 for Record of the Year

Just the Way You Are" is an instant classic from it's opening electric piano part.

Hearing the crackles and pops of needle grooving on vinyl is my favorite way to absorb the songs on "The Stranger" -- yes, I grew up on this classic record

This album brings back memories of childhood in a good way

Any new fans looking to get into Billy Joel's music should start with this album then work your way back to front.

Just the way you are & the stranger are my 2 top favorites

But yes, if you have an SACD player, this is a wonderful new way to enjoy the record and hear all the details.

the popular "Just The Way You Are" eloquently expresses every man's wish that the woman he loves will not get the itch to change, and my favorite "Scenes From An Italian Restaurant," is a real sonic showpiece that fully exploits the 5.1 surround while telling a great story of a couple living life lived too fast, resulting in inevitable disaster

Even as the decades pass his songs have a thoughtful but communicative way about them on every level for them to easily withstand just about every test time continues to offer

Probably my second least favorite song on the album, the most memorable thing about it is the reprise of The Stranger at the end, a perfect way to end the album and such a departure from

This is Billy's masterpiece, his signature album, it's integrates his faster rock and roll style in "Movin' Out" and "Only the good Die Young" (aside: if I have to explain "Only the Good Die Young" to one more person, I'm gonna freak), to his ballads in his heartwarming "Just the way you are

It may not be as immediately catchy as some of the other songs on the album; however, this deceptively simple number has a way of growing on you over time.

As of his previous album Turnstiles Billy was still very much in his own creative process,working his way through a series of somewhat diverse styles of music seeing which would combine better

Scenes from and Italian Restaurant, Only The Good Die Young, Just The Way You Are, and Movin Out

A guy loves a girl, but she'll get you in her evil ways, typical love story

(In "Movin' Out," "The Stranger," "Scenes From An Italian Restaurant," "Just The Way You Are," "Scenes From An Italian Restaurant," "Only The Good Die Young," and "Everybody Has A Dream," respectively.)

Here he has a band that is very complementary to his many melodic changes, his whimsical harmonics, and his utterly creative way of combining lyricism with melody

A decent song, that is not near the first 8, it is a good way to end the album

Here he has a band that is very complementary to his many melodic changes, his whimsical harmonics, and his utterly creative way of combining lyricism with melody

Just The Way You Are" were huge hits and deservedly so, but I still prefer "Moving Out" and "Only The Good Die Young" a little bit more

This is as close to perfect as you will get from Billy Joel
