There seems to be nothing on the net for the best new piano based songs.

At the moment (it always changes) my favs are

Pyramid Song - Radiohead
Sail to the moon - Also Radiohead
Amsterdam - Coldplay
And the odd bit of muse ("in your world" introduction )

I agree with pyramid song, it`s an incredible piece, have you ever heard christopher o`riley`s cd of radiohead songs played on classical piano? it`s fabulous stuff. nevermind the bullocks.

Yeah, Muse are absolutely awesome... Quite a few of their songs involve piano-playing, but I guess that the best examples would be Cave, Space Dementia and Butterfiles and Hurricanes.

Radiohead is good with piano too, but the level isn`t particularly high... Apart from this one bit in "We suck young blood".

Aqualung are lovely. Pretty simple piano, yes, but nevertheless very good... Strange & Beautiful, Can`t take my mind off you and Just for a moment are rather nice.

Coldplay... Well, not bad, but it doesn`t possess that same `organicy` feel as the rest.

I`m trying to get my hand on that classical radiohead, sounds great.

Someone pointed me in the direction of Ben Folds, what ive heard so far impresses me. Nice and back to basics.

I think that although coldplay havent really pushed out the boat with the piano in their music, they have managed to sucessfully bring piano back into indie bands. I respect them for that.

Also Delta Goodrem seems to have some talent, lets see where it goes.
