Top Ten Piano/Keyboard Solos In Popular Music

So many Billy Joel songs could have made this list. Technically, "Scenes From an Italian Restaurant" is not as difficult as "Prelude/Angry Young Man" or "Stiletto", but the solo propels the song through a transition perfectly.

Billy Joel rocks on piano.

Once again, this isn't technically difficult, but it's perfect for the song. The Wurlitzer's sound is unique, and makes me think of Supertramp instantly.

An incredible solo for an incredible song...!

Amazing piano solo!

Just as amazing as the vocals too!

I debated about including this, since it's more of a riff than a solo. Make sure you find the full version of the song--the piano intro was snipped on the single edit.

Most people simply think of the distorted guitar and forget the fantastic, wild solo that guest musician Billy Preston plays.

If you listen carefully during the outro, you'll notice that Elton added a snippet of another song by The Who, "I Can't Explain".

Are you kidding me. 15. Apparently people are dumbasses. All the other solos on the list is good but not substance and is weak, also the tone is also pretty garbage on all the other songs

It's from the soundtrack (by Michael Nyman) of 1993 Academy Award-winning film The Piano (starring Holly Hunter and Harvey Keitel).
Don't know if this is really relevant here, since it may not be so popular. However, the movie and the music had such an impact on me, that when I read the title of your list, this is the first thing that came to my mind.
