Off the top of my head; FF piano collections soundtracks are a great choice, and aside from that, about the only thing I've ever really listened to that has very prominent piano is Coldplay.
Piano as prominent instrument:
Joe Hisaishi's works
FF Piano Collections
Various works by the Video Game Pianist
Mark Soskin, Piano Bar 1
Yoko Kanno, Piano Solo (Live)
Ooshima Michiru, Kodoku
Ooshima Michiru, Zanshi
Ooshima Michiru, Ryouryour
Ooshima Michiru, Kuon
Ooshima Michiru, Kuukyo
Ooshima Michiru, Aishou
Ooshima Michiru, Wakare no Kyoku (Piano Solo)
Ooshima Michiru, Beaming Sunlight
Ooshima Michiru, The Alchemic World: Two years After
Seatbelts, Piano Black
Yasushi Ishii, Netsu Tsukusareta Back Ground
Yasushi Ishii, Saraba Ponkotsu World
Yasushi Ishii, Requiem for the Living
Piano with an ambient touch:
Nujabes & Fat Jon, Mystline
Tsutchie & Fat Jon, Thank You
Seatbelts, Fingers
New York Musicians, Slipper Sleeze
Piano with a dirty, grungy jazz feel (piano not always forefront instrument):
Yasushi Ishii, The Mask of the Priest and the Bell of the Chapel
Yasushi Ishii, A Left Foot Trapped in a Sensual Seduction
Yasushi Ishii, The World Without Logos
Yasushi Ishii, Aa, Seishun No Ero Makai
Yasushi Ishii, Genshouku Jibaku Love Song
More traditional jazz feel (piano not main instrument):
Mai Yamane, Want it All Black (Clavinet Hater Version)
Piano with voice accompaniment:
Emily Bindiger, Adieu
Emily Bindiger, Flying Teapot
Ilaria Graziano, Pearls
Ilaria Graziano, Diamonds
Sissel, Marble Halls
Seatbelts, Dijurido
My three favourite piano-featuring contemporary songs are:
Dream Theater - Wait For Sleep
Dream Theater - One Last Time
Avenged Sevenfold - Warmness on the Soul
Love that track.Quote:

Why not classical?
La Valse D'Amélie by Yann Tiersen is absolutely brilliant.
no classical because i have mozart vol7 piano concertos. if anyone in the UK have seen the new moterola rizr z8 advert then thats the type of music i'm looking for
My favorite non-FF piano track is the piano version of Linkin Park's In The End n.n
Listen to La Valse D'Amélie, it's nothing like Mozart.Quote:

His work with John Coltrane...amazing.
Dammit, I knew I was forgetting something pertinent....Quote:
