52nd Street - Joel, Billy

How do you follow up such a brilliant album like the Stranger? Well, I'm not sure you really can, so Billy seems to start to head in a different direction, going for a more Rock & Roll album than his previous work (he's pictured on the cover with a different musican instrument than his main piano). 52nd Street's "second side" (an out of date term in the age of CD's) is weaker than the first, but it's still a good album. 52nd Street also has the honor of being the first thing ever to be released on a CD when the format was first invented.
