so many of these mentioned are journeymen - top class professionals, but not THE elite!

I have to mention Santana's early keyboardist Gregg Rolie and his amazing Hammond on their 70s albums such as Abraxas and Caravanserai
Simply wonderful keyboards.

IMO, there is no such thing as "the best", but Billy Ritchie was certainly the first. |

As is usual, this is a fame poll, not necessarily a quality poll.

Kerry Livgren is an underrated keyboardist. I think he's a more skilled composer for keyboard rather than a player, but he can really let it out every now and then.

A great list, to which I would add Jan Hammer without hesitation. Also, no one has yet mentioned Michael Pinnella with Symphony X. I am especially referring to his piano work in earlier albums. He is, after all, a Julliard graduate...
