User:Skakkle/piano rock

Piano rock is real. whatever forces that are emergent from the wikipedia admin structure that say that this article shouldn't be created after numerous attempts-- are not doing anything good for exploring the topic.

Examples from Hippie Wiki
I didn't read the content of this Hipppie Wiki page but the examples are a good starting point. Many of these may be more pop than rock. But the main feature is that a piano player is the lead writer, composer & singer of the group. and piano is a main part of the groove & style of the group, piano is high in the mix and provides chord changes as well as melody in most songs.
