All of his concertos are amazing especially the first movement of the second, and the entire third. Check out the Michel Beroff recording of his complete concertos and Visions Fugitives.
Others I love...
Sarcasms Op.17
Piano Sonatas (complete)
Visions Fugitives
His piano transcription of "the love of three oranges"
O and many others that I can't think of at the moment.
If I find prokofiev on someones program, whether it is for piano solo or ensemble, I know I will enjoy it!

My favorite solo piece of Prokofiev is definitely the eighth sonata-I feel it ranks right up there as one of the greatest sonatas ever composed.

My favorite concerto of Prokofiev is the Second, but I also love the first.

Who on earth is Prokiev? Or maybe you mean ProKOFIEV. Anyways, Sonata No. 7 is purely awesome.

um, w00t! 6th and 9th sonatas are my favorite, and I like the 5th concerto (yes it does exist! its very virtuosic). Of course his absolute greatest is, indisputably, March for the Love of Three Oranges.
