Storm Front je enajsti studijski album Billyja Joela , ki je izšel 17. oktobra 1989. Album vsebuje med drugim hitro skladbo »We Didn't Start the Fire «, ki govori o zgodovinskih trenutkih in osebnostih od druge svetovne vojne do leta 1989 in skladbo »Leningrad«, ki govori o prijateljstvu med Američani in Rusi v zadnjih letih hladne vojne .

Ostale skladbe, ki so se uvrstile med Top 100 so bile »And So It Goes« (37. mesto), »The Downeaster Alexa« (57. mesto) in »That's Not Her Style« (77. mesto).[2] Na ovitku je fotografija zastave, ki opozarja na nevihto.
