Piano rock is a style of rock music that is based around the piano—and sometimes piano-related instruments such as keyboards–with piano typically replacing rhythm guitar as the rhythm instrument.[citation needed] Traditionally piano rock has not been as prevalent as classic rock; however modern groups such as Keane Coldplay The Fray Jack’s Mannequin Muse Ben Folds Five The Dresden Dolls and The Whitlams and solo artists such as Elton John Tori Amos Vanessa Carlton Billy Joel PJ Harvey Kate Bush[citation needed] Fiona Apple Rufus Wainwright[citation needed] Jeff Reinholds[citation needed] and Aqualung have helped popularize the genre.
