    Old videogame songs, stuff like Legend Of Zelda (and the Ocarina tunes)... I know Enola Gay by OMD... and Eve Of The War from War Of The Worlds is worth learning as well :p

    If you're a fan of Muse you should try learning some of their stuff, some are a lot easier to play than they sound, so you look extra impressive :)

    Try 'New Born' and 'Sunburn' (basically the same on the piano)

    I can play one song on the piano, that's it.

    I have no intention of ever learning any more than that. :)

    I can play quite a bit. I'm self-taught mostly but planning to attend lessons and do some royal academy piano grades eventually.

    My main focus is synthesizers, though. I still enjoy playing a good acoustic piano now and then, but I'm more inclined to rock out on a synth.

    Like so. :rock:

    I can play the entire FF7 soundtrack. In a pinch, that is. Normally I focus on the most memorable tracks.

    Also, I can do some synth stuff as well. Piano was required of music majors, and I was one for a while.

    I can play* a couple of Push tracks (Strange World, etc..), PPK - Resurrection, a fair few Robert Miles tracks from the Dreamland album, and can generally pick up a tune by listening to it a few times. James bond theme is an easy one, so is the Terminator theme tune.

    *by play I mean I can get the tune out and you can tell what it is, but no chords and so on.
