According to Wikipedia:
"Piano rock, sometimes referred to as piano pop, is a term for a style of rock music that is based around the piano, and sometimes around piano-related instruments, such as the Fender Rhodes, the Wurlitzer electric piano, and keyboard-based synthesizers, rather than the guitar as is the case with traditional rock music."

Some piano rock bands include (but are not limited to): Something Corporate, Jacks Mannequin, The Hush Sound, and the Rocket Summer.

I've always despised the Rocket Summer, but after really listening to it, I like it.
Piano rock is pretty cool. It's new, different.
I like it.

Piano Rock is actually probably my favourite if I think about it.
Andrew McMahon is just a God. tehe
I just love most music with a piano in it. Even if they're not to the genre of Piano rock, I love all the Envy On The Coast tracks where Sal does this thing on the keys :]

Andrew McMahon is beast!

Mm. Envy of the Coast has songs with piano parts to them? :O

Come to think of it, Hellogoodbye and Forever the Sickest Kids have keyboardists. Not piano rock, but keyboards are kind of like pianos.

I love Rocket Summer. The Hush Sound and Something Corporate are both pretty good, too. I've recently started listening to Jack's Mannequin, but it looks like I'll end up feeling the same about them Smile

Sweet! Jacks Mannequin's amazing.

Ben Folds is awesome, too. Elton John is also an amazing pianist/singer.

i fcking love this genre. most bands just have a guitar, bass, and drums, so it's like amazing when there's a piano in the picture.
and the hush sound blows my mind. ahaha.
so does something corporate.
listened to a jack's mannequin song once but never noticed a piano? omg i have to find it again....
haven't listened to the rocket summer but will definitely start.

Would The Dresden Dolls be considered as piano rock?
If so, they're really amazing.

I LOVE this genre so so so much. I think it's the blend of guitars and then the piano that just gives me goosebumps.
