billy joel - glass hours

Billy Joel’s Glass Houses, released on March 12, 1980, marks a pivotal moment in his career, blending rock, pop, and new wave influences. The album, which topped the Billboard 200 for six consecutive weeks, features some of Joel's most iconic tracks, including the chart-topping hit “It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me.”

With its upbeat energy and catchy hooks, Glass Houses explores themes of self-reflection, modern life, and societal expectations. The album's production, featuring a more stripped-down, rock-oriented sound, captures a raw, dynamic edge that contrasts with some of his earlier, more orchestrated works, cementing his versatility as an artist.
