Definitely Wakeman...Although Emerson is a prog God, I think there's more harmony and elegance in Rick's music..

Oh! I'm here since September 2007 and I've seen any poll named "Emerson vs. Wakeman" not less than 6 times. Haven't you anything more original?

Emerson, no contest. I also agree with those saying Tony Banks is better than both tho

Wakeman easily for me. Though I also like some ELP, I just love what Wakeman does with music. Both with Yes and Solo (as a matter of fact, I would rate more Wakmean albums with 5 stars than Yes albums, and both Yes albums I would rate with 5 stars include Wakeman... while, at the same time, I know no ELP album I would rate with 5 stars).

It's since 1973 that I hear this question.
 No vote....and a suggestion for Marian Varga who has a bit of both

I'll vote both
Keith is my hero but Rick was one of the few that deserved to be considered on a similar level circa 1973.

As I have said several times before, I will take Wakeman's finesse over Emerson's bombast any day if I have to choose one over the other. Fortunately, I do not have to make that choice and I can enjoy either one as the mood hits me.
