I love rock and roll bands that add a little Ivory now and again. I think it's part of the reason I love "Sherpa" so much and couldn't get enough of the "Evening With" tour.
Bartolomeo Christofori rocks. (And yes, I had to look that up.)

I agree, I love keys in alot of bands..adds a very sophisticated sound to the music. Coldplay is a classic example

On songs like Army and Philosophy, it totally works though. Download them and you'll see!
I like most of Folds' stuff, but not his live solo album. It was a lot of fun, but having nothing but piano the whole way through the concert was a drag.

Yeah, it's a great change from the typical guitar-centric music I'm used to listening to. Three of my favorite bands, The Beatles, The Doors and The Guess Who, make great use of the piano.

Ok, keys add alot to music now how about a violin in a rock band...how cool is that?
That is one of the unique aspects of DMB. 8)

Even Blue Rodeo's really rockin' stuff always has piano/organ liberally sprinkled about the mix...one of my favourite things. Gives it a real folk-rock feel as opposed to just straightforward guitar rock.
