Piano rock is a subgenre of rock music that features the piano or keyboard as a prominent instrument in the composition. The piano is typically used as the lead instrument and is often accompanied by other rock instrumentation such as guitar, bass, and drums. Piano rock can have a wide range of styles, but it generally features strong melodies and emotive lyrics that are often introspective and personal. Some notable piano rock artists include Elton John, Billy Joel, Ben Folds, and Tori Amos.
