15 of the Best Piano Songs In Modern Pop History
Our roundup of the 15 best piano songs in pop recognizes that while guitars and drums often get all the glory in pop music, it's the power of a well-written piano riff that can truly make a song great.

Have a listen to what we think are some of the best piano songs in pop music, and we think you'll agree that this classical instrument is sometimes best used on a modern concert stage instead.
