80s Piano Songs in the Key of E Major

E Major's four sharps (F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯) give it a rich, powerful sound. It's the natural key of the guitar, which means many rock and pop classics were originally written here. On piano, E Major requires confident use of black keys, making it intermediate territory — but the sonic payoff is worth the effort.

The 80s gave us power ballads, synth-pop, and some of the most dramatic piano moments in pop history. From Journey's anthems to Phil Collins' emotional hits, these songs capture the larger-than-life spirit of the decade. Below you'll find 15 hand-picked 80s piano songs in the key of E Major, selected from over 22 songs in our library.
