Billy Joel A to Z

The Stranger Album Wrap Up - Part 3

Season 22, Ep. 5
•

This is it -- The Stranger Album Wrap Up. Billy Joel's greatest album AND one of the greatest albums of all time. Every song is a groundbreaking gem. Five of the nine songs are still played at every concert every month almost 50 years later. This three part Billy Joel A to Z episode includes the usual rankings and Weird Elon parodies and, of course, the magic of Paul Loren. As they say in the 1977 radio ad for the album - "you oughta know by now, Billy Joel on Columbia records and tapes". 😉
