I think this is probably going to be a Wakeman runnaway, but Kaye and Downes were great as well.

Moraz, I'm not a huge Wakeman fan,  Kaye is decent, but nothing special, leaves Moraz for me.

I wish he played longer with yes, very nice indeed

I prefer Wakeman over Moraz, he was all classical while Moraz had a variety of influences.....I liked wakeman's classical influence on Yes

I love Wakeman's style. I wished that he'd put more effort in making good solo-albums. But what he did with Yes is fantastic.

I love Kaye and Moraz as well, and Downes is good too. Yes had a good hand in recruting keyboard players.

Rick Wakeman is good but I prefer Tony Kaye's organ playing on Yours is No Disgrace that's a class track.

The vote is similar to "the best Jethro Tull flute player"

Really! This is pretty much a no-brainer.

Euh... is this a joke?

Wakeman by a mile!

I like Moraz though, but nothing compared to Mr. Wakeman!

All are good keyboard players. I voted for Wakeman just because I feel that he fits better with the bands Chemistry.

taste is but a matter of oppinion.
