August 17, 201015 yr I bumped this thread because I want you guys to recommend me things. :cheesy: :whip: I really love stuff like Yann Tiersen, Michael Nyman, and Philip Glass. :wacky:
August 17, 201015 yr Akira Kosemura is great. :wacky: http://www.myspace.com/kose0606 Chopin's Preludes album is pretty stunning as well.
August 18, 201015 yr if anybody says "piano man" i'm going to kick you. :beadyeyes: Why? It is one of the best piano songs of all time, and Billy Joel is one if the best rock pianists, too.
August 18, 201015 yr A really good piano song is October by U2 and a very beautiful one as well from their 2nd album of the same name. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqdJ6CsXt4Y]YouTube- U2 - October (1981)[/ame]
August 18, 201015 yr 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
August 21, 201015 yr 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:
