Great Rock Tracks With Piano?

I got to thinking that I often enjoy rock music that has some piano riffs. While some might mention the early stuff with Jerry Lee Lewis or Little Richard, that was before my time. I was thinking more along the lines of Aladdin Sane (piano by Mike Garson in one take) and Lady Grinning Soul (also Garson on piano) by Bowie, Crime of the Century, and who can ignore Elton John (Roy Rogers, a favorite) and Billy Joel (Piano Man). Others?

Nicky Hopkins - whatever he played on. Check out EDWARD, THE MAD SHIRT GRIND - QUICKSILVER MESSENGER SERVICE for one.

A second for Chuck Leavell, for his solo on "Jessica" as well as his work with Sea Level and the Rolling Stones.

Pick up any old Bruce Hornsby album for great piano, too.

Awesome piano work in Supertramp's "Brother Where you Bound". Not as well known as some of the other Supertramp records, but a classic IMHO. Listerning to it now because of this thread....
