Yes!!! I love this album so much.

The whistled passage at the end of the whole album that reprises the opening of the title track is just awe inspiring.

Other highlights include "Just the way You Are," "Vienna," and of course, "Scenes From an Italian Resteraunt."

About two years ago, this used to be one of my favorite albums ever. There's hardly any filler, yet so much emotion.

Personally, I think that "Only the Good Die Young" is one of the best songs of the seventies.

To me, Billy Joel's music has not aged well at all. I have a harder time listening to him every year.

And for me, the best song on The Stranger is "Vienna".
