Trent Reznor. He's an amazing musician overall, but he has the talent to be a concert pianist. As a teen he was encouraged to quit school and practice 10 hours a day. He chose not to because he thought he wouldn't get girls playing classical music.

Get a keyboard. I'm guessing for now you could get a casio or something which tend to be cheaper. Here are the reasons 1)It is MUCH easier to play songs by ear because you can go from one note to another fast so you can easily find out if you're playing a song the wrong way or not. The easy access of playing on note to the next or one chord to another is a big plus. 2)It is easier on your fingers. There are no thin strings to hold down, all you have to do is press a key. 3)It's much easier to understand how notes and scales work when you have the keys layed down in front of you. If you can learn where the 12 notes are on an octave then that's good enough, from there everything else is just higher or lower octaves but overall the notes are the same. 4)There are many youtube videos with tutorials for learning songs. Even if you're barely learning just the left hand part of a song, that alone can help you. But regardless of which instrument you play, I would highly suggest learning about what the scales and chords are.

John Paul Jones (aka John Baldwin) of Led Zeppelin. The In Through The Out Door album was all his.
And Harold Faltermeyer of Beverly Hills Cop fame.

Rick Wakeman or John Paul Jones.
John Paul Jones is probably the best all round rock musician ever.

Blake Sakamoto of the Dan Reed Network. These were a late 80s ealy 90s pop-rock group who were very much 'of that moment' in terms of sound; but Blake Sakamoto's musicianship and the slick production of Nile Rogers made them sound more cutting edge.

Dave Greenfield, The Stranglers. He could certainly tickle a mean keyboard could Dave.

Toss up between Rick Wakeman (well known Man City fan) and Edgar Froese from Tangerine Dream...as you say, there are many, but as I've just woken up, those two sweeties are the first to come to mind.
