''Glass Houses'' is an Album by American Singer-songwriter Billy Joel , released in 1980 (see 1980 In Music ). It features Joel's first song to peak at #1 on Billboard 's Pop Singles chart, "It's Still Rock and Roll to Me." The album itself topped the Pop Albums chart for six weeks and became the fourth best-selling album in the United States in the year of its release. Opening with the sound of glass shattering, ''Glass Houses'' has more of a "hard rock" feel than Joel's prior albums. Accordingly, the response to this album was quite mixed. ''Glass Houses'' "turned off" many long-time fans, while at the same time, attracted many new fans to his music. The album was conceived as a reply to Punk in general, and The Jam 's second album '' This Is The Modern World '' in particular.
