Question

last time i asked what were good bands that used keyboards and i received lot awesome responses.

but it was too much trouble to finding good songs so here i am again.

what good songs (possibly your favorite) would you recommend that includes the use of the keyboard

Answer 1

Iron Butterfly - In A Gadda Da Vida

Deep Purple - Highway Star

Children of Bodom - Living Dead Beat

Answer 2

You should try getting all of these, they have complex keyboard passages and solos.

Liquid Tension Experiment - Acid Rain
Dream Theater - Fatal Tragedy
Anglagard - Jordok
Dream Theater - Dance of Eternity
Dream Theater - Space Dye Vest
Genesis - Firth of the Fifth
Yes - Cans and Brahms
Yes - Roundabout


Haha, I see a lot of Yes and Dream Theater recommendations by other people too. Of course, they're two of the greatest progressive bands ever to walk this earth.

Answer 3

Rock and Roll, Battle of Evermore, No Quarter -- Led Zep has tons

Any Pink Floyd -- check out Wish You Were Here &
Dark Side of the Moon

Any Queen

Most Bowie -- Check out the Alladin Sane album

Obviously Elton John, Billy Joel

You know what, my husband is a keyboard player. I would need to know what style you want, what your set up is (frequency modulation or preset sound banks?), how modern are you looking for. If you're serious, you can e-mail me, and I'll get your answers for you.

Answer 4

Pretty much any song off the Killers's first album "Hot Fuss".

Songs from that album with really good keyboard parts:
Somebody Told Me;
Smile Like You Mean It;
On Top;
Change Your Mind;
Everything Will Be Alright;

^great CD by the way. Much better than their newer one.

Highway Star by Deep Purple.
Won't Get Fooled Again by The Who.
Magic Carpet Ride by Steppenwolf.
Most songs by The Faces.
And check out Uriah Heep.

Answer 7

Like A Rolling Stone by Bob Dylan

Answer 8

Girl Anachronism by The Dresden Dolls

Answer 9

Anything by the Dresden Dolls. All of their music includes keyboards and i find most of it a bit difficult, but Coin Operated Boy and Missed Me aren't too bad.

Answer 10

Mushroomhead!
*These Filthy Hands
*The Wrist
*Never Let It Go
*The Need
*Erase the Doubt
*Just Pretending
*One More Day
*Bwomp
*Solitare/Unraveling
*The New Cult King
*43

note that some of these youll have to listen for awhile to hear the keys. these are only a few of their songs that use keyboards. almost all thier songs do, but some its harder to hear them over the guitar and samples and vocals and bass and drum, etc.!

Enjoy!
