Rachael Yamagata's stuff is quite nice. I saw her open for Ryan Adams last year.

muse has some good piano songs, specifically "space dementia"

Brad Mehldau is good for jazz piano and modern covers
Christopher O`Riley has done 2 albums of Radiohead covers and other songs.

then I guess if you are going the coldplayish route, Keane doesn't use guitar at all and only piano.

Also, Fog, which is one of Radiohead's best piano songs. Also, on I Might Be Wrong - Live Recordings, Like Spinning Plates gets a wonderful piano makeover.

not really piano based but the Phish song Squirming Coil always had some great piano pieces in it whenever it was played.
