Jon Lord, that lengthy solo that comes after Space Truckin finishes on Made in Japan, Emerson can't do that.

No vote here.

From  a technical standpoint, there's no reason to compare them.

About the sound: Jon wins because oh his overdriven sounds. But credit should be given to Emerson's Hammond percussion too.

This is stretching things a tad in Emerson's case surely ? he did receive piano lessons as a child but so did my mum, and she can barely bash out London Bridge. There is no evidence to suggest that Keith studied under the tutelage of a music teacher. Don't know anything about Lord's formative training so can't comment. Wink

I love em' both but voted for Emerson as to my ears, Lord was often relegated to a rhythm role in his main band Purple.

Perhaps Classically influenced would be more apt ?

Much as I like Lord, Emerson buries him in a landslide of a billion blistering boulders (er, really big pebbles). 
The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty"
