Rick Wakeman, excelent in Strawbs and Yes as part of a band and even better as solo artist.

Why post the same poll four times? It doesn't make sense.

I'll consider making the time to vote when a keyboardists poll appears that doesn't exclude fusion keyboardists.

Also, Mike Oldfield is recognized mainly as a guitarist and shouldn't be on this poll.

Other excellent keyboard players left out: Claudio Simonetti, Jens Johansson, Mickey Simmonds, Ton Scherpenzeel, Tony Tartarini, Toshio Egawa, Keiko Kumagai, Motoi Sakuraba, Kevin Leonard, Kenichi Oguchi, Kenichi Mitsuda, Hiroyuki Namba, etc.

US, I have alot of business in Las Vegas, Palm
Springs and Phoenix to attend to. We have just
signed contracts to supply 2.1 million sq. ft. of
artificial grass to a casino corporation in Las Vegas
and will be supplying 60 retail outlets in the West
with grass and kiosk for their stores starting Jan.
15th.
So I must be going and will miss debug up the
ass, certified queer 1, peter rider and of course red
reed lover.

KEITH EMERSON

BTW: I understand the Godzilla movie is already being screened by critics... so far the only good review has been for Keith Emerson's score....

That's good for Keith, and American critics don't like Godzilla movies. They're on the edge of their seats waiting for the next all-flash-no-substance Colin Farrell flick. Most of our critics don't recognize metaphors, anyway.

Rick Wakeman for me too. I think as Ivan suggests, the fact that he is such a successful solo artist, and a member (plus former member) of a major band, demonstrates his versitility. He is of course also enormously gifted, as are all those listed in the poll.

Edgar Froese; he's been at boundaries where no one dared yet. Froese knows every thing about keyboards.

Tony Banks for me. I mean, the man gave us the New Jerusalem section of Suppers Ready, The Knife, The Lamb Lies Down, Back in NYC, and of course, WATCHER OF THE SKIES.

Vote Banks, you know it makes sense
