Hi there.
I hope this poll never gets bashed or such, would be nice if we can keep it friendly and adult in here.
The reason why I made this poll is that I love rock with Hammond (or similar instruments).
So I did a txt of quite many keyboardists/organists and I wanted the poll to be about atleast 10 poll choices.
Also I wanted the big guys and the top rated guys not to be in this poll since they'll get almost all votes and the not so big guy would've end up at zero.
-
Please when making your choice read the name(s) and vote for the musician as an individual and not vote just because you like the band in the brackets, I named one band with each musician since it would make it easier for the voters to recognize what band he played/plays with.
You'll get ONE vote only.
When you're done with the voting you can tell why you voted for that musician... this is all up to you though it would be cool to hear.
If you're not familiar with any of these guys, please check them out here at PA or just pass on this poll, for all you others who for some reason(s) only listens to Emerson and the likes: I'll make one more poll atleast as good as this with about 10 great ones and on that same poll I'll add 10 legends... stay tuned for that it'll be added in about a day or two (please don't steal my idea).
Thank you all and rock on!

| I forgot to mention: Vote for the one you like the most... the one with the better sound or the coolest technique. |

Great list, Roid....at least one poll on a road less traveled!
The usual suspects are not here even if some will bitch about it ''but where is X???''
 I love SPOOKY TOOTH, so Gary Wright gets the nod!
Graham Field is no slouch either!

Thanks mate
 Hahaha, yeah I've seen that too many times... even if I could name 200 musicians it'll still be the same
Nice to hear that you love Spooky Tooth... fantastic band!
Yeah Graham is one of my alltime favourites.

| Alan Park (Beggars Opera for me, great great keyboard player, yet very underrated. The other two my fav from the list are Rinus Gerritsen (Golden Earring) and Frank Wilson (Warhorse) |

Keyboard nut that I am, you haven't listed any that I have heard or know remotely about. Well, what you can you say, when it comes to the world of music it's not a small world after all.  Ten off the top of my head: Vangelis Rick Wakeman Patrick Moraz Chick Corea Tomita Tony Banks Tori Amos Joe Jackson Keith Emerson Lyle Mays ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

No vote, since I really don't know any of these, though I am a Hammond lover: Deep Purple, Atomic Rooster, Black Widow, and many others.. |

Wow, some lesser knowns, there is hope after all !!!!! Tired of Emerwakebanks !
I chose Gary Wright (The Mirror) is amazing ! Rinus Gerritsen was mostly a bassist though who added some synth frills on Moontan mostly. Max Thomas of City Boy (wow) . I think I will do a similarly odd poll. ------------- I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth. |
