Many of these were on regular rotation for me back in the 1990s

Stoa - Partus

Cindytalk - Snowkiss

this mortal coil - with tomorrow

Bel Canto - Dewy Fields

Durutti Column - Street Fight

Cranes - Far Away

These songs still give me goosebumps.

Any music board piano favorites?

I know the Beatles are not popular around these parts, but Let It Be is one of my favorite songs of theirs, and it's all the piano.

Walking in Memphis is an all timer for me.

More recently, I liked the intro to Fear and Trembling by Gang of Youths.

Obviously lots of stuff by Ben Folds and Fiona Apple.

And Elliott Smith seems to fit this as well.
Elliott Smith - Color Bars

Elliott Smith - In the Lost and Found

Elliott Smith - Baby Britain

Could have said just about anything by Elton John to be honest but that one definitely stands out.

Here's another - possibly the best thing Tony Banks ever wrote. Firth of Fifth

Elvis Costello’s version of “How Much I’ve Lied” from Almost Blue, written by Gram Parsons.
Played by Steve Nieve.

Always loved Dizzy Reed's piano solo in GNR's "Estranged".
