Wakeman will always be a madman on the keyboard.

Out of these guys, Tony Banks. I also really like Flavio Premoli, Cyrille Verdeaux, Jurgen Fritz, Kerry Minnear, and Thomas Johnson.

i know there are many good keyboard players, these are only examples, so you should chose your favourite of them, but your number one could be another keyboardist. - oh sorry for my english

i know that Wakeman is keyboard god, in the technical view surely. And so what about:

Banks - Emerson - Orford: in the technical view ? what do you think ?

Emerson is like the Gilmour of the keyboard world. Wakeman is like the Fripp of the keyboard world, a lot more subtle than Emerson, but a genius nonetheless.

I'll bite.

Tony Banks. Sure, Wakeman & Emerson might be flashier, but Tony never fails to move me with his keyboard parts. A master of moods and atmospheres.

Ben:

I'm with you: Banks is "classier" than Wakeman or Emerson, if not technically as proficient.  Though I must say, Tony Kaye is perhaps the most underrated of the group listed.  Also, I'm with Vegetableman on Kerry Minnear...

Peace.

My vote goes to Tony Banks, because everytime I hear a Keyboard solo by him, it reminds me of when I was young and my dad used to play all the great Genesis albums really loud.

I aspecially enjoy his solo on Cinema Show, but my favorite is the one near the end of Supper's Ready, it always makes my neck hair rise.

Of those listed, Keith Emerson is my favorite, but I've always loved John Evans work with Jethro Tull. He's such an underrated keyboard player.

Tony Banks from this list, though I find his playing became less interesting over the years.

 

My favourite would be Clive Nolan
