glockstrap Posted January 3, 2008 Report Posted January 3, 2008 I'm looking for songs that have a lot of piano in them, other than the obvious billy joel, ray charles, and elton john. I'm looking for some kinda like journey, motley crew, Jerry Lee Lewis, the Tractors. etc. any help would be great, no limit to age or era. anywhere from 40's to current.
_Laurie_ Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 (edited) Roll With The Changes - REO I thought of REO right away...I'm sure there's plenty other great tunes to use.....I just can't think right now... Jessica - Allman Brothers Layla - Derek And The Dominoes Come Sail Away - Styx Takin It To The Streets - Doobie Brothers Edited January 4, 2008 by Guest
Jim in Pa Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 How bout the piano exit of Layla (Derrick and the Dominoes) Jim
Lucky Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 Some of my favorite piano artists and almost any song by them: Tipitina ~ Professor Longhair Such A Night - Dr John Lucille - Little Richard Roll Away the Stone - Leon Russell and a couple of 70's piano songs you've probably never heard of: Avenging Annie - Andy Pratt (also covered by Roger Daltrey) Lake Shore Drive - Aliotta Haynes & Jeremiah
bluesboy Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys - Traffic I Got a Line On You - Spirit Rikki Don't Lose That Number - Steely Dan Maybe I'm Amazed - Paul Mccartney LA Woman - The Doors
miamisammy29 Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 A ton of Stones stuff, like Sympathy For The Devil, Dead Flowers, Memory Motel, We Love You, Short And Curlies, Rocks Off, Monkey Man, Dandelion, She's A Rainbow, Under My Thumb, and many others. And then there's the wicked electric piano stuff, like Heartbreaker, 100 Years Ago, Ventilator Blues, and a few more.
indigoboo Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 Tori Amos' first album is mostly piano.

Farin Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 here's a Piano Instrumental: Take Me To Broadway (Piano Version) ~ Gonzales
RonJonSurfer Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 Hey...throw in vince Guaraldi's "Linus and Lucy".
glockstrap Posted January 4, 2008 Author Report Posted January 4, 2008 yeah i love linus and lucy, stevie wonder's "fingertips", and guns and roses "november rain" I'll have to check into these songs, keep em comin!
miamisammy29 Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 You want a a G N' R song? try "14 Years". The piano absolutely RULES!!
miamisammy29 Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 Thanks, man. It's my favorite Guns N' Roses song. If I'm not mistaken, Izzy wrote and sung it, and it's like he's telling the band it's time to split. He split soon thereafter, and they were never quite the same.
RonJonSurfer Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama Free Bird too for the matter.
blue_n_white Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 The intro to "Colour My World" by Chicago.
bluesboy Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 Shady Grove - Quicksilver Messenger Service Glad - Traffic The 'In' Crowd - Ramsey Lewis Trio A Walk in the Black Forest - Horst Jankowski Memphis Slim supporting Matt 'Guitar' Murphy on Matt's Guitar Boogie Champion Jack Dupree - Pinetop's Boogie Woogie
blind-fitter Posted January 6, 2008 Report Posted January 6, 2008 My favourite album of 2007 is "White Chalk" by PJ Harvey. I normally buy any new PJ Harvey release, even though some turn out to be better than others. I was slightly apprehensive about this one, since it allbut dispenses with guitars in favour of the piano. I needn't have worried: it's her best album for years.
c_s_1987 Posted January 6, 2008 Report Posted January 6, 2008 Locomotive Breath - Jethro Tull Firth Of Fifth - Genesis (Greatest piano intro ever IMO) Rhayader - Camel And, of course: Khe Sanh - Cold Chisel When The War Is Over - Cold Chisel Cheap Wine - Cold Chisel Flame Trees - Cold Chisel Choir Girl - Cold Chisel

Shawna Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 Marshall Tucker has some good piano in their songs... particularly "Heard It In A Love Song."
_Laurie_ Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama Free Bird too for the matter. And " Call Me The Breeze " Awesome piano solo at around 2:36 or so....not to mention some kick butt guitar too!....Love this tune!
