Hey, JP, I always think of CNN's "Bloody Money" when it comes to the somber, atmospheric piano. What do you think?

"Ugly People Be Quiet" I don't know if that piano counts as "somber" though. More like "most triumphant!"

Does Mobb Deep "Quiet Storm" count?

Yes, this is exactly what I'm talking about

i think my favorite sad piano intro of recent memory is outkast/jayz/killer mike "flip flop rock"

best of all time is "dead presidents" though
