"Eternity" by Noriko Matsueda

"Yeneh Ababa" by Kenna

"I Won't See You Tonight Pt. 1" by Avenged Sevenfold(not entirely piano, but the guitarist does the piano when it's on and it's awesome)

If you like Five for Fighting, they like using piano a lot(same with Coldplay.)

Bah...if I ever come across one on my playlist I'll let you know.

I always enjoyed the title track on the Smashing Pumpkins' "Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness." It's just an instrumental, but it's an awesome piece of music.

Ben Folds uses his piano on just about everything he's done. Whatever & Ever Amen has some good stuff on it. Off of Rockin' the Suburbs, I seem to repeat "The Ascent of Stan" a lot.

There's definitely some other good stuff, but I'm too tired to think of 'em now (Scott Joplin songs are the only piano-songs I can think of now). I'll check in later if I think of any more.

"Hello", "Breathe No More", "Listen To The Rain" and "My Immortal" by Evanescence all use the piano as a main instrument, and they're all good songs. If you try and find Breathe No More, try and get the live version off Anywhere But Home. There's a guitar backing to it in the live version but I think it makes the song even better.

If anything, you should probably get "My Immortal". It's a beautiful song, but don't get the band version. The original's better.

Warmness on the Soul by Avenged Sevenfold is a great fucking tune with the piano as the primary instrument. Download it and listen. The vocals in the song are kinda love 'em or hate 'em, though.

Try some Five for Fighting.

Coldplay's "The Scientist" is one of my favorites. I do a pretty damn good job with that, if I may so.

[Ananas]

Vanessa Carlton - "Papa", "White Houses".

Ben Folds - "Fred Jones Part II", "The Luckiest", Zak And Sara".

Coldplay - "Trouble", "Everything's Not Lost", "The Scientist", "For You".

All three artists generally use a ton of piano in their music, I'm just pointing out the songs that highlight the instrument in the best way.

[Guest Thiia Deshi]

Chuck Berry - You can never tell

[Steeb]

'Black Stacey' by Saul Williams has at least some piano in, if not more - my memory fails me.

[TOG]

Just Killing Time -- Black Label Society

In This River -- Black Label Society

Whiter Shade of Pale -- Black Label Society

She Talks to Angels -- Black Crowes

Anything by Tori Amos

Shadow Boxer -- Fiona Apple

[Skummy]

The Piano version of "Miss Misery" by Elliott Smith, or "All This Useless Beauty" by Elvis Costello, which is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. It's amazing.

[EddieRuckus]

Got one, Wasted Years by Cold(Strings Piano Version). If you can't find it, PM me and stuff.

[Clawson]

I'm pretty sure the main instrument in Let It All Out by Relient K is the piano.
