Best Piano-Rock?

[OldFogey]

Piano:
John Lennon
The Beatles (in like 50% of their songs)

I don't think so. Paul played more piano than John. George Martin handled the harder keyboard parts (the harpsichord in In My Life). And Billy Preston carried most of the load in the later songs.

I have no idea what the actual percentage is of songs on which John played piano, but I would guess closer to 10%.

SO:

John Lennon
Beatles (in like 50% of their songs)

meant you were citing two different artists: Lennon solo, and the Beatles?

Looked like you were saying John Lennon in the Beatles..

Sorry if I misunderstood -- not that I agree with the conclusion, anyway

Stevie Wonder.

[Mushroom]

For me, Ben Folds and Dresden Dolls

[RagAndBone]

I'm not sure if this technically counts, but what about the White Stripes' "Get Behind Me Satan" album?

I agree with whoever mentioned Keane. IMO the best modern-day piano-centered band around. But I don't know that many piano bands XD They still rock though.

The others (ie: Elton John) are pretty obvious mentions.
