"Scenes From An Italian Restaurant" is definitely top 20, maybe even top 10, but not best ever.
To each his own. I like the first three you listed but loathe virtually the whole of Glass Houses. I never have understood why The Nylon Curtain doesn't get more love.
The funny thing is, I'm not really much of a Billy Joel fan anyway. I'm just an opinionated bastard.
The only Billy Joel album I didn't like was "River of Dreams." Having had all (or at least most) of his money taken by his former agent, he (for the first time and by his own admission) wrote specifically for the point of making money, and it showed. It's kinda sad that his last studio effort was a weak commercial piece that sold more on name recognition than it did on merit.
