Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. It's Still Rock and Roll to Me

Answer: Glass Houses

Billy Joel's seventh studio album, released in 1980, "Glass Houses" topped the US charts and also gave him his first UK top ten album. "It's Still Rock and Roll to Me" was released as a single, topping the US Billboard chart and making it to number 14 in Britain.
2. A Matter of Trust

Answer: The Bridge

"The Bridge" was released in 1986, reaching number seven in the USA and number 38 in Britain. "A Matter of Trust" was a top ten US hit, and featured Joel on guitar rather than his usual piano.
3. We Didn't Start the Fire

Answer: Storm Front

The 1989 release "Storm Front" topped the US chart and gave Joel his first UK top five album. "We Didn't Start the Fire" mentions 100 events that were in the news between 1949 and 1989, and topped the US Billboard chart as well as reaching number seven in the UK.
4. All About Soul

Answer: River of Dreams

Released in 1993, "River of Dreams" was Billy Joel's last studio album of the 20th century. It topped the US chart and made it to number three in the UK. "All About Soul", which features a backing choir, was released as a single, reaching number 29 on the US Billboard chart.
5. Uptown Girl

Answer: An Innocent Man

The 1983 release "An Innocent Man" reached number four in the USA and number two in the UK, his highest placing on the British album chart in the 20th century. "Uptown Girl" topped the UK singles chart, and was accompanied by a video featuring Joel's future wife, Christie Brinkley.
6. The Ballad of Billy the Kid

Answer: Piano Man

Released in 1973, "Piano Man" was Joel's second studio album, reaching number 27 on the US chart. "The Ballad of Billy the Kid" was released as a single but failed to chart. Although the song is supposed to be about the famous outlaw of that name, the lyrics are historically inaccurate.
7. Allentown

Answer: The Nylon Curtain

"The Nylon Curtain", Billy Joel's eighth studio album, was released in 1982, reaching number seven on the US album chart. "Allentown" relates the declining steel industry in Pennsylvania, and made it to number 17 on the Billboard singles chart.
8. Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)

Answer: The Stranger

The 1977 album "The Stranger" was Joel's most successful in both the USA and UK up to that date, charting at numbers two and 25 respectively. "Movin' Out" was released as a single, making it to number 17 on the Billboard chart.
9. Say Goodbye to Hollywood

Answer: Turnstiles

Released in 1976, "Turnstiles" was Joel's fourth studio album, but it didn't sell well, only getting as high as 122 on the Billboard album chart, although it proved more popular in Australia, reaching number 12. "Say Goodbye to Hollywood" also did well in Australia, charting at number 45, but it failed to make an impression in the USA.
10. My Life

Answer: 52nd Street

The 1978 album "52nd Street" gave Joel his first US number one, and his first top ten UK album. "My Life" was released as a single, reaching number three on the Billboard chart.
