Yeah, I know what you mean :a piano is not really sexy. :P

Right now I can only think of some oldies like :
Supertramp,Yes, E.L.P.,sometimes Queen
Also you don't see many soloists :
EltonJohn
Carli Simons
Sting.

You have to love Jerry Lee Lewis (especially if your his underage cousin).


But my favorite song with a piano is "Rock and Roll" by Zeppelin, it has all the makings of the best rock and roll song of all-time. Awesome riff, great hook and lyrics, tight drums, and the piano.

most power metal bands have songs with piano... synth in every song usualy but some of them the synth actually sounds like a piano...

Try sonata arctica - full moon eventho im not sure its really a piano sound... whatever its similar...

you can try the band HIM aswell (not power metal more goth metal or something)

"in flames - ordinary story" has piano in it especially 2nd verse and a little bridge

I saw them live too once, at a festival, and they weren't that great....
Ah well, it's not my type of music anyway and I would more describe it as pop, not as rock....But it's subjective I guess

Coldplay use the piano a lot in their songs. Check out "Amsterdam".
