"Does it have to be a ‘riff’? I absolutely love the man of steel piano melody by Hans Zimmer "
Doesn't have to be a riff, can chose your favorite which includes piano |

There and to the left a bit |
Listen to some of Mike Barson's keyboard playing for Madness and there are some sublime riffs in there..that are slightly hidden by the overall sound...as evidence take a listen to..
Shut Up
The Sun & The Rain
The intro to It Must Be Love is pretty evocative too |

Im not sure but everytime I hear someone playing a lovely piece, it really makes me wish I had stuck with my piano lessons instead of giving up.
It must be magical to be able to sit down at a grand piano and play. |

I miss playing the piano
It’s so soothing and I use to loose myself and just play for hours !
So for me it was very magical

Yes, this is one of my favourites... also Bowie's Life on Mars is a big favourite.

I taught myself to play Life on Mars (in a fashion) it's a fantastic piece.

There are loads of great piano bits in lots of Elton John songs, and how can we forget about Bat out of Hell... almost the whole album is littered with awesome piano lines.
Tori Amos is another artist with fabulous piano lines on almost everything she does, I particularly like Happy Phantom.
