All those.

Plus...

Great Gig in The Sky - Pink Floyd
Scenes From an Italian Restaurant - Billy Joel
Selfless, Cold and Composed - Ben Folds Five
Tiny Dancer - Elton John
Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

others as I think of them...

Piano Man - Billy Joel
Chariots of Fire Theme - Vangelis

Let it Be - Beatles
A Day in the Life - Beatles
What I Way - Ray Charles
Blue Berry Hill - Fats Domino

:)

"Angry Young Man"- Billy Joel (I think most of us have heard that familiar quick playing at the opening)


"Morning Has Broken"- Cat Stevens (Rick Wakeman of Yes played the elegant sounding opening & coda)


"Tubular Bells"- Mike Oldfield (No one can listen to this without thinking of The Exorcist. Creepy)

"Imagine"- Lennon

"Maybe I'm Amazed"- McCartney

"Lady Madonna"- Beatles


I dunno, I would've listed something by Elton John. He's an obvious choice, but when I thought about it, his songs *are* piano based, but IMO, they aren't piano driven. It helps his songs along, but his classics have lots of orchestration doing most of the work.
As mentioned above, "Layla" is a great example of a *really* memorable piano section and I couldn't think of a similar thing w/ Elton. Maybe I should try harder. *Maybe* "Tiny Dancer".
Hope that makes sense! :)

Silver Springs - Fleetwood Mac

For me there are way too many songs to name. For something upbeat and fun, the first song that comes to my mind is this song from Toby Keith. I love the piano playing that is in the middle of the song. :) :) :)
