I like them all to a degree, but like some others have said, seeing the Lives Scenes DVD cinched it for me. Jordan is fantastic.

Kevin is great too. Kind of like the modern Tony Banks: always plays what's right for the song and doesn't show off as much as the other 2.

Derek would be a lot more appealing to me if he didn't act like such a poser. I read someone else refer to him as Derek "I am God" Sherinian, and that pretty much sums it up I think. Very very talented though.

Sorry. Definately Pete Bardens for me. God bless his soul.

 

OOps, sorry folks, i missed that DT....

I thought the topic was for the best keyboardist in general.

 

oh well :-)

i think that derek sherinian wanted to get back at petrucci for getting kicked out of the theater, so he decided to make a solo album with yngwie, one of JP's heroes, who he didn't get to play alongside. I dont know if this is true but if you check the archives Yngwie (and Zakk Wylde from Ozzy and Black Label Society) are on there.

If so then DS and JP should have made up by now as recently they did a 15th anniversary concert of WDADU, with derek and charlie playing on the encore. You can get this on cd and dvd on the "official bootleg" (what an oxymoron) page on www.dreamtheater.net

I say Jordan Rudess. But I think those first DT albums wouldn't be what they are (awesome) if Moore wasn't on them.

Is very difficult the decission between jordan and kevin, since I&W is my favorite DT album and my believing of jordan being the best keybordist alive and the new energy he gave to the band with scenes from a memory. But well we now have TOT and the amazing stream of conciusness in it, so I would say Jordan

Moore and Rudess are both amazing... i went for Rudess for being in 2 of my 3 favorite albums (SDOIT, SFAM & IAW), also he was in the 2 albums in which keyboards are more present (SDOIT & SFAM), IMO. Also his previous job with Liquid Tension Experiment was awesome.

Jordan Rudess wasn't on "images and words". That was Kevin Moore.

It's hard to pick one.... Jordan's perfect technically, while Kevin is not just a great musician, but also a musical genius.

Sorry Jordan, but you never wrote songs like Space-dye Vest or Wait for Sleep
