Queen and styx are the two best piano rock bands that come to my mind.

I'm positive she would like Ben Folds , or the Ben Folds Five which was the band he was in previously to going solo. He's a fantastic pianist and makes some great upbeat piano music which can be enjoyed by almost anybody.

Listen to Dope's ablbum Life, it has keyboards in it.

borknagar uses a lot of piano in their songs

i dont know if that would work for your sister though.....

[QUOTE=humdilea]piano is'nt meant to be in rock you'll really only find it in old rock bands[/QUOTE]
isn't "meant" to be in rock? who wrote a book saying what is allowed in rock and what isn't? i find that instrumments such as piano, keyboard/synths, flute, violin, mandolin, bongos, etc, make rock music twice as awesome.

One Angry Dwarf and 200 solemn faces by Ben Folds Five.

School by supertramp has an awsome piano solo.

Muse.

Well first, sorry for stalling out so long. I have been unable to access my comp for my then 5 minuets for a long time. (school+work=NO FREE TIME)

First off, props to Paranoidd who reminded me of Lacuna Coil, i totally forgot about them.

and many of those suggestions were good but she isnt big on the screaming guitars, and death metal (sarcasm). but seriously i think that the hardest type of metal she will go will be Lacuna Coil

thanks everyone

piano rock
 

Listen to Piebald - I haven't tried it...real good piano rock

What about the Doors they have an organ that tears it up

Check out Dark Tranqillity - Chartacter

features a lot of piano.

I wouldn't call their music "rock," though. :)

Man Man, the main instrument in their sound is a piano, although they are nothing like Evanescence. They are more upbeat, and a little off of the wall.

I remember this thread!

Me too.

Wow, as a musician, it's kind of embarassing that neither Billy Joel nor Elton John is in this thread. They're two of the greatest piano players without a doubt.

Dream Theater has some nice keyboard in it, maybe check that out

I assumed he was talking just about piano, not keyboards too. There are a ton of good keyboardests throughout metal.

"Wait for Sleep" by Dream Theater has great piano.

warren zevon
