* Sorry for those who didn't get their favourite keyboardist/organist in this poll, since the maximum of poll choices is 25 every musician I planned for this poll can't be in here and I stripped it down to the exact 25.
I do hope you find someone to vote for.
 
I'm much aware that polls like this have been done over and over and over again... you don't need to inform me about that.
 
You're voting for the musician, NOT the band: the name of the band is only there so you can find your favourite easier.
You're voting on the musician and his talent/style/sound of wich you like the most
Only one vote by each AP user.
 
Optional: Tell us who you voted for and why.
 
The reason I didn't make the list look better like having it in alphabetic order or such is that it makes you read a little further before jumping on your obvious choice.
 
Please keep it adult and don't bash each other.
 
This poll is also a follow-up to my first thread about the same subject but with lesser known/famous keyboardist/organist  http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52941
 
Don't forget to vote now!

Hammill plays piano, so maybe he did mean it.

Yeah he does play keys too but Banton was the main keyboard player in VdGG.

I would have voted for him he was there because of his really unique style actually.

RIP in bossa nova heaven.

You know, on a typical day, I might go with Rick Wakeman- I believe he is one of the most technically proficient masters of the instrument.

But today, the day after I just finished writing my review of Masque :

http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=187256

and watching them play "The Pinnacle" on the video here:

http://www.progarchives.com/media.asp?id=1019

I'm pleased to vote for Kerry Livgren- holding down the fort with not just a few keyboards, but a Les Paul too!

I'm actually about to go running and listen to the entire double CD remaster of Two for the Show.  That gives me a two and a half hour workout, although I might pass out during "Closet Chronicles."

If I could change the poll since it's still in an early stage I'd do it for you but I guess that's impossible right?

No you can't but don't worry about it. Plenty of awesome keyboard players in there.

A tie between Chick Corea, Keith Emerson, Kerry Minnear and Mike Ratledge for me.

Actually, no, I'll go with Corea for the shear amount of quality work.

RIP in bossa nova heaven.

Thanks nice to hear so  Smile
 
Though I must say it did bring me down a little... I was going to put my vote on VDGG too, now I don't know...
 
WOW!
 
Good choice, when he's improvising he put all in here on their buttoms... a real madman there!

Tony Banks. Great solos on "In the Cage", "Robbery, Assault, and Battery", and the various segments of "Supper's Ready".

Kerry Livegren?
 
Please man, he only played aditional keys, his main job was in the guitar, Kansas  keyboardist is Steve Walsh.
 
From this list I'm between Patrick Moraz and Jurgen Fritz.
 
I'll go for Patrick, not only for his perfect technique (Vittorio Nocenzi, his only rival  is not here Cry) but because he was the only man able to replace Wakeman in Yes, Emerson in The Nice (Refugee) and Mike Pinder in The Moody Blues.

I'll go for any of both.

For the purposes of this poll, it's irrelevant that he might play, in your words, "additional keys;" he's still an incredible player.  Steve Walsh isn't even listed in this poll.  And you should remember Livgren wrote many of the parts for Walsh to play.

Could you say that Livgren played additional keys on his solo work too?  Don't those count when considering his worth?  Ever heard One of Several Possible Musiks?

I went with Emerson though.
