For me:
S: Stranger, 52nd Street, Glass Houses
A: Nylon Curtain, Turnstiles
B: Innocent Man, Storm Front, Piano Man
C: Streetlife Serenade
River of Dreams?
Haven’t listened to it yet
Best songs are the Great Wall of China and Blonde Over Blue
As long as Stranger is S tier I’m proud lol
For real, Stranger is a masterpiece
My list would be: S - Turnstiles, The Stranger, An Innocent Man A - Glass Houses, Cold Spring Harbor B - Piano Man, The Nylon Curtain, Storm Front C - 52nd Street, Streetlife Scerenader, River of Dreams D - The Bridge
Nylon Curtain is better than 52nd Street? idk about that.
I'm not a big fan of 52nd Steet's second half and I'm higher on Nylon Curtain than alot.
It's a personal tier list not one based on general consensus
Yeah, I’m aware

He doesn’t even had a bad album but if I had to pick his “worst” it’d be Streetlife Serenade imo
Trick question; they're all S-tier. And kudos for not including CSH. An all-time terrible album by any artist in any genre.
Street-life in A tier is shocking to me. I love three songs off it but everything else seems to suffer from the same reasons pre-The Stranger albums have which is weak production and Joel’s voice not truly coming into his own. Glass Houses, The Nylon Curtain, and An Innocent Man need to move up to A tier. Also River of Dreams is so underrated, I can’t believe people put it at the bottom so much 😭
Yeah my opinion on Streetlife Serenade is a rather unpopular one, can’t deny that. If I did change anything about this list I’d put glass houses and nylon curtain A tier I kinda brainlessly put them in B.
What’s your fav song off street life. Mine is The Great Suburban Showdown. I adore the his voice on that song for some reason.
Damn I have to pick one, I would say Great Suburban Showdown or Los Angelenos
My List:-
S- Turnstiles, The Stranger, Glass Houses
A- 52nd Street, The Nylon Curtain,
B- River of Dreams,Street life Serenade, Piano Man
C- An Innocent Man , Cold Spring Harbor, Stormfront
D- The Bridge
The bridge allllll the way in F
No chance
Mine would be around that, but I would have An Innocent Man at S, probably because it was the first songs I heard from him
S: The Stranger, Turnstiles, Glass Houses
A: The Nylon Curtain, 52nd Street
B: An Innocent Man, Piano Man, Streetlife Serenade, Storm Front
C: Cold Spring Harbor, The Bridge
D: River of Dreams
A bit too far with 80s Joel hate for my taste. Those are some really good albums and I don't think every single 70s Joel album is better than every single 80s Joel album.
