Favourite recent Tinkly Piano Number
Adele - Someone Like You
And slightly older, Ben Folds - Landed:
Charlie Brown theme song
Lick My Mellon Collie
This...
Is like this.
Prince - Sexy Dancer
He is very protective of his stuff being on youtube but this is a live version. Hope it starts 10:45 mins in at the piano break.

More a synthesizer piece but the synthesizer break in Head off Dirty Mind is unbeatable.

Bruce Hornsby was the tinklemeister
(Bruce Hornsby/The Way It Is)
Love this
Tinkly, lovely song, perfectly sung.
'Reardon going for the pink...'
Definitely Tinkly
Nick Drake - Poor Boy
Mott The Hoople
It's a mighty long way down rock 'n' roll
All The Way To Memphis
Non more tinkly
Than Steve Nieve especially on Costello's The Loved Ones. I'm on a phone so can't add clip - anyone do the honours?
Nay bother
Elvis & T'Attractions - The Loved Ones
Cheers Bisto
.
Sound on this is a bit lossy
but you get the idea
The Triffids
"Save What You Can"....I've posted it before but it's such a lovely melancholy piano based tune it can't hurt to post it again.
Nice.
Nice.
Horst Jankowski "A Walk In The Black Forest'
Superb mid-sixties "easy listening" with tinkly piano, swooping strings, pizzicato strings, tremolo strings, clippy cloppy muted guitar and oomp chukka ricky ticky rhythm section.
Eine kleine meisterstucken!
And a bit of Schubert
Fats Waller plays (and sings) his own composition
"Honeysuckle Rose"
Paging Ray Davies
The piano in this song never stops tinkling
Jack Bruce
Such a talented man...Brilliant and surprising rendition of an absolute classic song...Theme for an Imaginary Western.
Nat King Cole
Let There Be Love
Elliott Smith
"In The Lost And Found (Honky Bach)" from "Figure 8". Can't do the video post thing.
More Bruce
Still IS the tinklemeister...gets pretty tinkly at 2:52...
Here's some gorgeous Allen Toussaint playing...
Deep roots
That Toussaint piece is just brilliant. Part of it sounds like New Orleans classical composer Louis Moreau Gottschalk while the rest is Tipitina (by Professor Longhair)in the minor key.
There's another version with Costello placing a lead line over it.
