Nostalgia ftw


This is a constructive post, before the mods think I'm rambling again.  :idea: Discuss other artists who play piano and you love, or further the point as to how epic Elton John is. Billy Joel's cool too.

Amanda Palmer <3 of Dresden Dolls fame, she's great on the piano.
Then there's Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails.
Of course, if you're including Elton John and Billy Joel, why not add Stevie Wonder to the list?

I LOVE STEVIE WONDER MAH IDOL.

I have played piano for ten years now, and one of my big influences is Stevie. The way he comes up with melodies is just genius.

I like Elton John and I wore out my copy of Billy Joel's greatest hits in junior high, but these days my favorite pianist is Ben Folds.
