Wakeman is god! I huge fan of Emerson too, but i favor Wakeman's style. Another favorite of mine is Jordan Ruddess... that guy is unbelievable!

Strangers passing in the street by chance two separate glances meet and I am you and what I see is me. And do I take you by the hand and lead you through the land and help me understand the best I can

Ive always thought Emerson is like the Hendrix of the Keyboard world actually.Anyway since time began its always been an Emerson/Wakeman debate...I go for Emerson hes wilder and I love his improvisation

Emerson is the Hendrix of the Hammond, but I consider Wakeman the Stevie Ray Vaughn. When considering two musicians of such immense talent, it comes down to a matter of preference. I prefer Wakeman because he is more subtle, but as you said Emerson is wilder and is great at improvisation.
Jordan Rudess is the only new kid on the block that comes close to these two. Go to his official site (though the URL escapes me at the moment) and listen to the sound clips. Wow.

So... who's Jimmy Page then?

LOL, Wakeman is more subtle than somebody? Only on a prog forum could that assertion be made...

Avatar: Photo of Solar Eclipse, Mexico City, July 1991. A great experience to see. Maybe once in a lifetime.

It must be torture to be constantly referred to as 'Keith Emerson's other band.'

Emerson is technically superior to Wakeman, but of course that means nothing other than he's techinally superior! I always felt Wakeman's best work was on Topographic Oceans (perversely of course as he was known to dislike this album) but compare the solos and textures with Journey and King Arthur, and it seems that the environment of Yes reined in his tendencies for the trite and comical and focussed his work. Side 2 of Oceas contains some achingly beautiful keyboard sections. Emersons playing is SCARY - check out Fugue on Trilogy, or any of Karn Evil. Finally though I come to Moraz who has the technique and taste to match either of the above. Sound Chaser offers enough evidence for my vote!

*Technically*? You're absolutely, positively sure of this? You've walked into both men's bodies and inhabited each one for an unspecified amount of time, and you therefore know that one is technically superior to the other?
