Songs With Good Piano Breaks

What are some songs you fellow orgers like that have some good little piano solos, break or other?

Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

Fun piano break, especially for a hip hop song, at roughly 5:20...
