The Top Ten

  1. Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

    When you hear it, you immediately start swaying along and singing. Best ever. Those immortal words: "Mama, just killed a man."

    Yeah, of course. This should be number one. Hail Queen and Freddie Mercury for this wonderful song.

    The point is, all the different genres of music they incorporated into this song made it what it is.

  2. My Immortal - Evanescence

    An immortal song from Evanescence.

    The best song ever. Love it.

    Best piano solo ever.

  3. Imagine - John Lennon

    The piano in this song makes everything John is singing about powerful. If he were to speak these statements, they wouldn't be considered art, but the piano makes all the "imagines" possible.

    John Lennon's visionary song.

    Best piano ballad. It is lovely.

  4. Clocks - Coldplay

    Best piano riff ever, and the lyrics are insane. Other instruments are also on the highest level, but they are put to the side this time to allow the piano to lead the story.

    I've learned it. It's fun and original. Would recommend learning.

    The intro riff is simply wonderful.

  5. Let It Be - The Beatles

    I had to sing this at my leavers' assembly at school, and it was so emotional.

    Paul McCartney's moving song.

  6. Someone Like You - Adele

    This is an awesome song and should be at the top of the list.

    We have awaited a song "Something Like This."

    It should be the first.

  7. Piano Man - Billy Joel

    I love this piece of music. It is truly amazing. I got the chance to play this unbelievable music. It should definitely be in the top 10!

    Is it just me that thinks all top 10 should be Billy Joel songs?

    Good song, and it has the word piano in the title, so why not?

  8. Love The Way You Lie - Skylar Grey

  9. Hello - Evanescence

  10. The Scientist - Coldplay

    As much as I love Clocks, Imagine, Bohemian Rhapsody, and Pyramid Song, I love this true ballad because it is so beautiful.

    This song is the best song ever. Best of Coldplay.

    This is the real ballad song of all time!

    11. The Newcomers
  11. ?

    A Man Needs a Maid - Neil Young

    Neil Young plays the piano on this one. The studio version features strings from the London Symphony Orchestra, but I personally recommend the version recorded live at the BBC in 1971. It's just Neil by himself.

  13. Into the Light - In This Moment

  14. Fur Elise - Ludwig Van Beethoven
