You'll never beat "Uptown Girl." That's good stuff. There's a reason why that's one of the classics. For sure.

My friend also recommended "Glass Houses" and "The Stranger." I’m not much for live music, so I don’t think I’ll be checking that one out. But two people both recommending the same albums is enough for me. I will definitely consider those purchases the next time I head to the CD store, but I already have a long list of CD wants to consider as well (including The Yardbirds, The Who, Weezer, The Beach Boys, Elton John, David Bowie, Credence Clearwater Revival, Five Iron Frenzy... The list goes on and on).
