The Stranger (1977) This was the first collaboration between Ramone and Joel, and it became Joel’s breakthrough album.

52nd Street (1978) The follow-up to The Stranger, this album won the Grammy for Album of the Year.

Glass Houses (1980) Ramone produced this harder-edged album, which included the hit “It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me.”

The Nylon Curtain (1982) This album showed a more ambitious, Beatles-influenced sound under Ramone’s production.

An Innocent Man (1983) The final Ramone-Joel collaboration, this album was a tribute to 1950s and 1960s doo-wop and R&B.
