Cattle Decapitation
Cannibal Corpse
...But seriously, The Mile After is really good.
A Cursive Memory have a song called The Piano Song, which fits into what you're looking for.

All The Houses is definitely my favorite, too. As for the song...I'm a sucker for "Shoreline", but "A Lover's Charm" and "Follow Sound" are close.

avoid the 'pop/rock' and just listen to straight piano. your cred and level of coolness will skyrocket

Ben Folds (Five) and Counting Crows are two of my favorites. Socratic is also amazing.

You have almost as many posts as me, but you still act like a "n00b."
And what do FTSK and Breathe Carolina have anything to do with the other bands, they aren't even piano pop/rock..
haha i knew i was forgetting something!

I agree with everything mentioned in this thread except Breath Carolina. They are definitely not good.
EDIT: Also I want to recommend New Atlantic.

wow... you just enjoy ripping me apart dont ya?
FTSk and BC are more synth oriented, and i was recomending them in case the original poster wanted to get into some synthy stuff as well...
other thsn that... i was kidding around about that "rule" thing...
i beleive only YOU took me serously there...

The Rocket Summer sounds and looks like some mom forced her 13 year-old kid, who tries too hard to look cool, to take piano lessons.
