Best Songs with a Piano in them

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Oh dear. I find Steinman very derivative. He wrote the Bat out of hell albums along with Bonnie Tyler's "total eclipse of the heart". Big power rock that went on and on and on and on.

Personally, I don't mind a bit of 1970s Elton John. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and the Beown Dirt Cowboy are both excellent albums IMO.

Beautiful South featured pianos extensively. Madness - My Girl is a great track. Ben Folds - The Luckiest.

Are we allowed electronic music? Could I include OMD - Souvenir.

Beat me to it Buzzer... if you havent heard Ben Folds (NOT Ben Folds Five) then you are not in a position to judge. Listen and then re-assess.


And let's forget - Joe Jackson - 'Be my number two' is classic

what about Japan 'Nighporter' or 'Fobidden Colours' by Sylvian and Sakamoto?

and to finish.... Five for Fighting - 100 years and Superman

I've seen Mrs Mills live in concert!

 

[The Lemming Stomper]

Uncertain Smile - The The

Is the right answer !

Your musical taste is impeccable Ad !!

 

[beardy gull]

Any number of Ben Folds - Landed, Brick etc,etc

 

[Mendoza]

Queen - Dont Stop Me Now, the best song EVER!!

Billy Joel - Piano Man

 

[Kylies Stunt Arse]

Another shout for Ben Folds here, Jane is a cracking song. As are Underground and Song For The Dumped.

Nick Cave - Nature Boy for a more uptempo piano than Ship Song.

I was nearly dragged to a Russ Conway concert

Al Stewart, but I like his stuff with or without a piano which does feature quite heavily in some of his songs.

Year of the Cat and On the Border being two of the better known songs featuring piano

At the risk of incurring the wrath of others, Elton John's Tumbleweed Connection has some great piano on it too

Does the hammond organ count?

If so, this is one of the most immense hammond records ever. FACT...

Bruce Hornsby and the range, That's the way it is.

Bonnie Raitt, I can't make you love me.

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Chas n Dave - The Sideboard Song. Luvvley Jubberly!

Colourbox - "Sleepwalker".

Even better if you let it carry on into "Just Give 'em Whiskey" afterwards.

Beat me to it Buzzer... if you havent heard Ben Folds (NOT Ben Folds Five) then you are not in a position to judge. Listen and then re-assess.

What's wrong with Ben Folds Five?

I must get hold of some of Ben Folds' solo stuff, I've been sleeping on that.

 

[Tooting Gull]

Bruce Hornsby and the Range - 'That's just the way it is' has some great piano stuff on it.

And Coldplay have a few, 'What if' is certainly one of them.

 

[Man of Harveys]

One of my faves

Damn good call - I love a bit of the 'cock. Big hero of mine.

 

[DIFFBROOK]

Squeeze - The Last Time. Absolutely fantastic piano from Jools Holland
