For me its always be Rick Wakeman, followed closely by Keith Emerson.

Have seen both of them live - makes you want to sell your piano.

Hmmmm.  I'd have to say Tony Banks and Kerry Minnear, then some of the keyboard players that used to be in Rainbow (Dave Stone, Don Airey, Tony Carey).

Without a doubt Emerson, followed by Moraz, Banks then Wakeman. I was sometimes disappointed by Rick's variety on his solos and I don't feel he had the technical ability of Emerson. He is really gifted though, it's a tough one.

Emerson, for the wizardry. But I really love John Tout from Renaissance, and have to say that Richard Wright is one of the most underrated musicians in the prog world.

Tony Pagliuca (Le Orme) deserves a mention too.

Wakeman as my top choice.

Wright and Emerson are awsome though.  So is Rudess.

For what's left of times, Rick Wright.

Wright, Banks, Eno.........flashy? Yeah right!

Geddy Lee best?

I like these joke posts

 

I wasn't trying to be funny, SnowDog..I was being serious.  Lee created some serious melodies with that keyboard, which is why I like most of their 80's stuff.
