Bands And Albums.

jon lord,highway star from made in japan.and a catchy little tidbit called good lovin`by the rascals.

Jerry Corbetta's organ solo on "Green Eyed Lady", and the Keyboard solo on "Easy", which is a track on Al Jarreau's 1981 Album "Breakin' away"....don't know who played it, Either Mike Boddicker, Jay Graydon, George Duke, or David Foster....most likely Boddicker.....

Intro to DP'd Lazy.... also one in "Foot Stopin' Music" by GFR....

Magic Carpet Ride

Billy Prestons Get Back solo was pretty cool
Also he did a solo at the Concert for George playin "isn't it a pity"

Stating around 3 minute 20 seconds... short and sweet.

Lots to choose from that have already been mentioned, some that haven't:

Supertramp - School
Pablo Cruise - Ocean Breeze (how can you not love a rock song with an 8 minute piano solo as introduction?)
Deep Purple - Burn (especially the baroque part)
Jethro Tull - intro to Locomotive Breath
Allman Bros - Jessica (yes, there's a piano solo in there too, if you listen to the full version)
Van Halen - Jump (not the cheezy intro, but Eddie's solo part is pretty cool)
Tony Monaco - B3 on White Dude's Special

then there are the all-piano all the time dudes that I used to love to listen to, like Keith Jarrett and George Winston

too much good stuff

jimmy smith -high heeled sneakers or got my mojo workin

Sacrament of Wilderness - Nightwish

Runaway - Del Shannon

Talbot

Don't know if this was posted before or not, but Andrew McMahon from Jack's Mannequin comes to mind when keys are in the discussion.

#1 Paula Cole (Deep-in-the-album, dark stuff; not "I Don't Wanna Wait," heh)

Also Vanessa Carlton...

Probably others... I do love piano. Keyboards can be good, too. Wouldn't really want to be without one.

Really, anything by Jon Lord.

Colin Towns was also cool

Jessica, Chuck Leavel w/the Allman's on Brothers and Sisters

Highway Star, Jim Lord, Deep Purple

Long Time, Tom Scholz, Boston
