Tony Banks by a mile, what he has done in genesis is unbelievable, i dont care if Emerson is more skilled, i prefer music instead of keyboard circus show :-) (i like ELP tho)

Tony Banks is way out in front as far as I'm concerned.  Then I would say Wakeman, Emerson, David Sinclair, Martin Orford, Cyrille Verdeux, Tomas Bodin, Kerry Minnear, Pete Bardens, Clive Nolan.  Those are the ones that come to mind anyway, I'm sure there are more.

BTW, did someone say Nick Rhodes was there favorite keyboardist????  I think someone stumbled in here accidently from 1983.

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?
