The Smiths, Oscillate Wildly. A bloody amazing bit of orchestration by Marr.

Evergrey, Pain of Salvation, Symphony X, are the three big ones that come to mind for me.

also Raichmaninoff is almost contemporary

Al Jolson is more contemporary than Rachmaninoff.

How about "Hey Jude"? Its fairly heavy piano wise, and it rocks pretty hard to boot.

Definitely Pain of Salvation, listen to their 12:5 album. It's an "unplugged" album so there is no electric music at all. Some VERY great stuff there.

QUEEN has lots of heavy tracks with prominent piano.  Some of my favorites that I know for sure have piano:  Death on Two Legs, Killer Queen, In the Lap of the Gods, and Bohemian Rhapsody.

Pretty much every song written by Chiodos is heavy and uses as much keyboard/piano as any other instrument.  But a lot of people think they sound gay.  Try:  The Words Best Friend Become Redefined (http://youtube.com/watch?v=hvYLQM_fMMw), Hathaway Lane (http://youtube.com/watch?v=PM3VdIMz6j8), Bulls Have Horns (http://youtube.com/watch?v=Bjy8lt2E3tI).

Jerry Lee Lewis's 'Live at the Star Club' album... The greatest piano album ever, and I hate the piano.
