So, I enjoy the Piano,

I Cannot read notes, I instead, listen or watch in order to learn.

the only 3 songs i know are

-Butterfly -DDR
-Ill fly with you
-Around the World - ATC

and simple 1 handed songs...

I want to learn some more, For School basically...

Can anyone suggest some songs that MUST be played with two hands and can be between medium and hard?

Any song can be played with one hand, it just sounds better and right with two.

Try Boston by augustana it's just good start

Personally, playing a piece by ear with 2 hands is extremely hard and not worth the time; unless you're a massive musicfag, getting all the precise chordal structure correctly based solely on sound is rather difficult.

If it were me, I'd just suck it up and learn to read music. It's actually consierably simpler than it may seem, and it also opens a much wider varitey of material which, subsequently, will be much easier to learn.

Seconding Iffydaffy.

The most badass way to learn to read music (http://www.abebooks.com/9780393155846/Musicians-Guide-Theory-Analysis-Program-0393155846/plp)

It not only teaches you how to read music (it's actually kind of geared toward piano, now that I think about it), but it teaches enough music theory to make all the intended music majors at your school look like retards. It comes with a textbook, workbook, an anthology filled with music (from piano to full orchestra), and 3 CD's with music from the anthology.

By the time you're done with the book, you'll not only be able to read two-handed music, but you'll be able to write it as well.

Why did I go on a Billy Mays just now? Mostly because you'd have to have perfect pitch to get two-handed songs down well without reading. Like me! haw haw

Final Fantasy 7 - Aerith

Tetris

Barthezz - Infected

Also, reading music doesn't do anything if you don't know how to finger the corresponding keys.
