Jon Lord put some distortion on his organ, so what? He's talented, so what? EMOOOOOOOO

Not to mention the bass pedals! Hence neither of them gets my vote.

Here's an Emo fan posting.
 
Lord = excellent player and a great contributor to the Purple sound, but a bit one dimensional for me.
 
Emerson = THE ultimate prog keyboard player.  Technically outstanding, not afraid to take serious risks, groundbreaking use of synths/technology (Robert Moog's guinea pig!) and just a bit of a showman too.  The man had it all in his pomp.
 
Chalk up another vote for Emo.

Keith Emerson easily.  It's not even a fair matchup.  Maybe Emerson vs Wakeman (maybe?).

Emerson, the guy could do anything, classical training or not. The fact that Lord had classical training and Emerson didn't just goes to show how much more talented Emerson is. Besides, Emo has that jazz aspect too that Lord never had, check this out I'm sure many of you have seen it but it's Emerson playing this insane improv with classical and jazz overlapping, two different melodies on the same piano:

I almost tought this was a joke how can you put sutch a boring unintresting and uncreative player as Lord agains a master like Emerson, nothing Lord did stands out in anyway cant think of anything intresting he did.

John Lord is way ahead of Emerson technically, but Emerson is a lot more creative IMO. Gonna have to go with Lord though, watching Emerson makes me cringe.

Think of Hammond organ, think of Jon Lord. The best.

And Emerson was NOT classically trained. Wakeman had some classical training but dropped out of the RCM before completing his course; nevertheless, he spanks Emerson for technical accuracy, though maybe not for excitement and showmanship.
