glockstrap Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share 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.

miamisammy29 Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miamisammy29 Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share 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.

blind-fitter Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share 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.
