Chopin's Preludes album is pretty stunning as well.

Why? It is one of the best piano songs of all time, and Billy Joel is one if the best rock pianists, too.

A really good piano song is October by U2 and a very beautiful one as well from their 2nd album of the same name.

Nice idea for a thread. I remember visiting a museum in Berlin and there was this beautiful piano playing in the background of a documentary playing there. I watched it 3 times at least just becuase of the piano song! Never gonna find out what that was though :(

 

anyways, listen to some Ben Folds. He's one talented piano player. It does include singing, but rest assure, he can sing aswell

I can definitely recommend some classical/baroque/etc stuff! :wideeyed:

 

You HAVE to listen to Vocalise. It's Rachmaninoff...who doesn't love Rachmaninoff? :shrug:

I really like the Efterklang song you shared. It's so pretty. Thanks!! :D

Eluvium has some good piano songs.

I really like Regina Spektor, Jack's Mannequin, Something Corporate, Keane, Thirteen Senses, and I don't mind The Fray either.

I also love the works of Chopin.
