Glass Houses

A 1980 studio album by American singer/songwriter/pianist Billy Joel, went to number one on the album charts and has two of the 80s most memorable songs, ''You May Be Right'', and ''It's Still Rock and Roll To Me''. Critically well received because of Joel's versatility in his ability to shift from the jazz and pop themes of his previous albums to pure, new wave inspired rock and roll.
Glass Houses is now in its fifth week straight on top of the charts. Billy Joel really knows how to rock.
