52nd Street

by Billy Joel

52nd Street cover art

Following the massive commercial success of 'The Stranger', Billy Joel embraced a notably jazz-rock-inflected sound on the wonderfully polished '52nd Street'. The album is a deeply melodic, profoundly urban piano-rock triumph, balancing brilliantly sarcastic, streetwise character studies with beautifully lush, passionate nocturnal ballads.
