Obligatory Chopin post. I really enjoy listening to classical music, piano solos in particular, while doing homework or what not. Some say it helps concentration, but I just enjoy it. It's a shame listening to this genre is somewhat looked down upon. My "Piano Solo, Romance Era" still remains my favorite station on Pandora.

As for modern music, my favorite song would have to be Muse's cover of Mon cœur s'ouvre à ta voix in I Belong To You.

2:08-

Not too complex, but it compliments the song very well.

Revolutionary Etude by Chopin (alot of his work is really great... play eternal sonata if you're into RPG's, it's got him as a main character... weird stuff but it works out well.)

Kuja's Theme by Nobuo Uematsu (from Final Fantasy 9, it's really dark but very good... there's a piano version but I prefer the original, which still has piano, it just has more of some other instruments also. Nobuo is a great composer.)

If you wanto to include keyboards/synth then a lot of stuff by Ayreon, Dream Theater, and some of Jordan Rudess's solo work are all very good.

When I opened the thread I was expecting to see some deep piano works, and then the guy typed modern songs in the first post he should have posted the topic as best keyboard songs or modern piano hits/solo?

Aside from that, I'm a huge Chopin fan too! And I prove it by being able to play (not perfect though, just a few rough edges needs to be sorted) Revolutionary Etude and the Fantansie-Impromptu, and Nocturne in E-flat Op. 9 No. 2, and Op. 64 No. 1

Unfortunately I've gotten so bored of the piano I haven't been playing it as much anymore...

This one is one my teacher gave me. Though I hate the guy cuz he's incredibly boring, yet he brings out the best in you, and the pieces he recommends is always amazing, spectacular. And using a more modern word...Awesome!

Like the Warsaw Concerto (piano version)

I am voting Space Dye Vest by Dream Theater as the best piano song.

Um Epic's ending solo is pretty awesome guys come on

Also, though somewhat obscure due to never having been in an actual Mario game as far as I know, the piano version of Piranha Plant's Lullaby rocks.

Beardfish - Love Revisited

Actually, really, just most of Beardfish's stuff.

Sweet Home Alabama (as already mentioned), Free Bird (Live), and I Know A Little, among others, by Lynyrd Skynyrd are pretty good.

And if we're including synth/keyboard in here, Jump by Van Halen's synth solo is really good, especially considering Eddie needs to jump from guitar the guitar solo to the synth solo in like half a second.

I like Stairway to Heaven. Sometimes me along with my friend use to play this on piano. I really love this and have some good memories related to this song. Nothing can touch my soul which this song does.

Bohemian Rhapsody.

And Lady Gaga is pretty good pianist.

Hmm...getting hard to think of things that aren't already listed, but I've got one. Jordan Rudess of Dream Theater is a fantastic pianist. An Evening with John Petrucci and Jordan Rudess is littered with awesome pieces of piano music, among other various Dream Theater and Liquid Tension Experiment songs. I know Rudess has done some solo albums, but truth be told I've never really looked into them. There's a possibility they may all be massive synth fests, but if you're curious, it may be worth looking at.

Muse came to mind right when I saw this thread. They have written some ridiculously good piano-based songs.

This chick is a classically-trained pianist and plays rock and metal covers.

Figured you guys would appreciate it.
