Everything up to about 1978 was great. The Stranger was his last great album. After that, it was largely bubble-gum pop.
He is a genius level composer, song writer and piano player. He is also a great performer who sounds just as good live as recorded. Just a shame that he could not match his music from the seventies.

I always liked Glass Houses ('80). Bought that album when it first came out. His other 80s albums weren't as good as his earlier work but still always had a great song or two. An Innocent Man, Goodnight Saigon, She's Got a Way (Live).

He put out 52nd Street after the Stranger. You can tell the Stranger's success gave him the freedom to do what he really wanted. 52nd Street is very jazz infused and overall a better album top to bottom musically than The Stranger despite not having a Scenes from an Italian Restaurant on it.
