Welcome to the PA, but your list is missing a few people ie Jon Lord, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Larry Young, Brian Auger etc.

                   Emerson never played the Mellotron so Rick Wakeman is my #1
                   because of his famous 'Tarantula technique' on the Mellotron Wink!

They're both great but Emerson is the ultimate. Wakeman is said to be more tasteful, but this is f**king prog, dude. Tarkus for life.

There are a lot of good keyboard players in this genre but it's awful hard for me not to vote for Keith Emerson.  His technical skill alone sets him apart from many others.

I love Rick's best albums, but on what grounds would you call him "the greatest"?

Greatest prog keyboardist is Rick Wakeman, by far. He is not overated at all, as he is god amongst men :-)
