Top 30 Famous Piano Songs
If you're looking for famous piano songs, you've come to the right place, you're in for a treat. You'll find all the best piano songs here from popular music some old, some new. This started out as a top ten list that became much more. As I did my research for this lens I was reminded of so many great songs. I think these piano songs represent the most soulful, expressive, emotive and memorable music of modern times.
Visitors are encouraged to add to my list and indeed you can vote for your favourites. So get involved and cast your vote.If you think I've missed something, feel free to add it. You can watch and listen to a performance of any and all the songs charted here either by clicking on one of the featured embedded videos or you can click on a thumbnail to view the video and hear the song on You Tube.
I've mostly gone for the best live performance of each song as the piano part usually comes through more clearly and also you get a better "feel" how the piano is meant to be played in each song that way. (That's for the pianists who land here)

Here's a selection of a few of the most popular piano songs for you. These videos can be watched and listened to on this page. I'll switch the featured videos around depending on how the voting goes. I've included thumbnails for all the other songs further down, so you can still watch the videos on You tube. Don't forget to come back and vote!
Bryan Ferry - To Make You Feel My Love
I just added this today 9th August. The film Hope floats was on TV and I found myself watching it. (Chick Flick really but I've got a thing about Sandra Bullock). Anyway this song features in the movie in a big way. Originally a Bob Dylan song, sung by Garth Brooks in the movie. But this is my favourite version. Adele does a good cover of this too.
Alicia Keys- If I Ain´t Got You
Even if your not a fan of Alicia Keys, I guarantee this will blow you away. It's such a great performance. Beautiful voice, beautiful woman.
Coldplay - The Scientist
Unique band with snatches of brilliance. Love 'em or hate 'em.
one of their best songs - piano or not
Guns and Roses - November Rain
Looks like Axl forgot to wear his pants for this song. Maybe that's why he sits at the piano for the entire 10 minutes of this epic song. A rock classic.

Stevie Wonder - Lately
One of the greatest talents
Music News
The Beatles - Let it Be
Simple, soulful, brilliant.
But I'm not sure if Paul's beard was a good idea!
Fats Waller - Ain't Misbehavin'
Most people who play piano have had a go at this. You might have found yourself plunking away at the keys to ain't mis behavin' or you've probably at least heard it played somewhere. Well here's Fats Waller himself way back in 1943 from the film Stormy Weather
Evanescence - My Immortal
One of my favourite bands. Here's Amy from Evanescence exposed. I think she looks just fine without the goth make-up. Moving performance.

- Great list! I would recommend a song such as "Bless The Broken Road" by Rascal Flatts as another all time great.
