THIS GUY (http://www.myspace.com/goot). Really great solo material here, not to mention it's pretty cheap. I have all his stuff, just about.

Something Corporate/Jack's Mannequin.
Pistolita is a bit more rock than most piano-rock bands.
Moneta is also great.

Glad to see some love for the keys! I'm the keyboardist for Brightwork, a piano-driven rock band from Virginia. Check out our myspace, hope you like it!

I've liked them for 5 years. They're the only band I've liked for that long. And I'm 18, not 16! I don't see what age has got to do with it - plenty of people around your age, even older, like them.

The fact that you got offended by a playful comment proves my point. Listen to Billy Joel.

That argument above was necessary and adorable.
Listen to 'Turnstiles' by Billy Joel and wonder why anyone else kept trying after that album was released. I love SoCo and Jack's as much as the next guy, but Andrew is no Billy.

they played a small set during our school's spring fest week. it was at Umass Dartmouth. i dont think it was highly advertised but i could be mistaken but im pretty sure it was them.
Edit: it was at our spring fest, heres a facebook link through our school it was Weds, May 5th.:

Jack's Mannequin are pretty easy listening. And The Fray have always specialised in this area.
Sick puppies just released a great new album...not quite piano rock but AMAZING

03/07/11, 08:16 AM
My favorites are Mae (The Everglow)...Stray Light Run and Eisley are really good. Last if you are in a chill mood Ben Folds (Ben Folds Five) are good too! Hope you Enjoy!

Didn't check the six pages of posts before me but...
Socratic, particularly their album called Lunch For The Sky.
Otherwise Ben Folds/Ben Folds Five (Whatever And Ever Amen, Rocking The Suburbs are my favorites), SoCo/JM (Leaving Through The Window, North, Everything In Transit), Waking Ashland (Composure), andThe Wedding have a few good piano-driven tracks ("But A Breath", "I-540", and "Revelation").

the hush sound's "Like Vines" is a decent album. Not sure if it really counts as piano rock, it's got a lot of piano on it

I became a member today only to suggest Crash Kings. This thread hasn't received many posts so not surprised they weren't on here. But I'd suggest to anyone who just enjoys music as a whole and good musicians in general to give Crash Kings a try. If you enjoy older rock then definitely click on the first like, pretty enjoyable. The second link is of them live.
