As far as I know this means songwritter, not Keyboardist.
But, it's your poll.

My favourite ever organist is VDGG's Hugh Banton. Giving the vote to Ratledge this time... love that fuzzed up hammond.

There are a lot of favourites in the list, but this time I went for Jon Lord, the king of the Hammond organ. However, since my friend Pat kept remarkably quiet, I'll ask the burning question... Why no Dave Stewart?

I love Hatfield & The North.
I'd planned to have him in this poll too... this poll was huge (I know this is quite big now also), there was many names... as said I shortened it down to the maximum allowed 25 choices.
Since this poll isn't what everybody hoped... I did it in under an hour and I'll soon add new polls (without wrongs), shorter polls... that I'm allready working with.

Wow, you have made quite a list here, very hard to choose, simply amazing all. But if I try I end up voting Kerry Minnear (Gentle Giant) - unmatch musician, simply on of the best music ever has and still have.

No criticism of your poll intended, Roid... On the contrary, it is an excellent poll, and a welcome diversion from the usual "Emerson vs Wakeman" stuff. However, Dave Stewart is such a revered player that his absence was bound to be noticed. Keep up the great work, though  !

Gona give another vote to Kerry Minnear. His independence is unmatched. Honourary mention to Rick Wakeman as well.

I know mate that mate 
When I realized I could as a maximum made a list of 25 musicians, I knew I couldn't even made the poll I wanted to made.
Sitting there with my list done and taking musician after musician off it wasn't very fun, now when the poll is done I'm thinking: why didn't I add him or him else than him?
So for the future... prolly tomorrow  I'll come up with shorter polls yet as good.
Thanks Raff, hehehe... that's why I started my polls... not that that polls are bad though short and can sometimes be quite boring.
Believe me, Dave Stewart will soon be in a new poll near you
Thanks, I'll do my very best.

Oh, great to see a poll with such a variety of great keyboardists!! Great work my friend!! Luckily, my all time favorite is on the list: Chick Corea However, very hard to choose, having Lutz Rahn and Thijs Van Lee, two of my personal favorite too!! It's a shame that there were no 26th place for Dave Stewart (however, having Corea in there, nothing would have changed for me ) but you've made a great interesting selection!!

Thanks... there's more polls coming up, keep an eye out
Chick Corea is superb... as I said to another user in this poll earlier today: When it comes to improvisations Chick Corea is putting all the other musicians on their bottoms, madman and genious.
There will be other polls, Dave Stewart is going to make it to the next one 
Thanks for the words mate

I should point out that the poll asked us for our pick- I already noted in my first reply to this poll that Rick Wakeman is my choice in terms of technical prowess. But the more I listen carefully to Kerry Livgren's output on keyboards (not only for Kansas, although he composed all the songs on Somewhere to Elsewhere, which has some fantastic keyboard parts- and he wrote these before Steve Walsh even heard them), the more interested I become. So for this poll (not, "who's the best," but "who's your pick"), I picked Livgren.Besides, I don't think my one vote will do much damage.

Someone is always up to sabotaging on this forum... I was a member here in 2003 I guess... about 5 ˝ year ago (my nickname was something with Kraut in it... shall see if I can find it), I did go my way because of the forum part here was like a mad playground for deranged monkeys who was throwing feces at each other.
No it won't do damage... but in some users brains it seems it allready has done some damage (prolly not, guess it was like this before that post).

Matt Fischer had some great keyboard work. Very moody.

Giving an opinion is not sabotage, if you want to receive only praises and not people who disagree with you, then DISCUSSION forums are not our option.
Never said the poll was bad or anything similar I only had my doubts about Kerry Livegren, that's not attaking you or your poll, only giving an opinion.
BTW: 5 1/2 years ago, this site didn't existed

I don't care if people speak their mind... you can say anything you want to me, it's realy ok (belive me I can take it).
I don't even care if people think this poll sucks (I like it, otherwise I wouldn't have doe it), I know there are wrongs in it, I know it's missing out on a big amount of great musicians, one more thing there aren't musicians from all sub genres but then I've only picked out of genres that I know some of and love to listen to.
I jumped you because I got a bit angry since to me you did jump on another user in here and since I started the poll to me it's me that have to keep it friendly... maybe you didn't but I just want everybody to be friends in here, I'm all for opinions but it would be great if we could be more friendly in the way we say things.
Btw Kerry Livegren nearly wrote the whole Leftoverture album on his own, his a good musician aswell... you're voting for the musician in here not the band named in the brackets.
I was way wrong, it seemed like it was that long time ago... it realy did... I thought my account was deleted though it wasn't but I'm not going to use it, my old account was started May 30 in 2005.
I hope I'm going to have a better visit this time around and that I don't bore myself to death

I just can't ever bring myself to vote against Emerson in polls like these.
