R&P,, mind recommending some songs to play on piano?

I don't mind the genre as long as it's not mainstream crap. or just crap in general..ok that's not going to work because opinions vary on what crap is soo..

I like classic rock , synth pop, pop, alternative rock, and a whole bunch of others but you can't play em on the piano.

Thanks guys :)

Mmm. Is it the piano or keyboard you're playing?
There are alot of rock bands that you rock organs, and synths. Like Dragonforce and Journey. Alot of cool Whitesnake is done on the keyboard, (Like Here I Go Again).

Songs for the piano..
A song called "Layla", by Derek and the Dominoes has the most beautiful piano ending. It's also the soundtrack to Goodfellas, I think, (everyone would recognize it.)
The Entertainer is the first thing I learnt on piano. Type it in Youtube, you'll know it.
Most bands do have piano songs.
Queen have many, (Bohemian Rhapsody), or if you're into more newer stuff, My Chem have piano songs, (Like Cancer.)

Hope this helped. :)

All in all though, from experience, I started playing guitar, because tbh, piano hasn't much of a place in modern music, (as beautiful as it is.)
So, I know this wasn't what you were asking, but you'd be better off with a guitar.

'Second Time Around' is an early demo by Lady GaGa. It has a very R&B sound; it doesn't sound at all like the stuff she's come out with recently.
