I was wondering who the best keyboard player is. Everybody is always voting on guitarests and singers, but never the keys. Organ, piano, synth, ect. it all counts.

No, that's not true. When you use the search function you find many keyboard threads. Some threads:

http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14735& amp; amp;KW=keyboard

http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14717& amp; amp;KW=keyboard

Nevertheless, my favourite keyboard players:

Eddie Jobson, Keith Emerson, Tony Banks, Rick Wakeman, Dave Stewart.

Jan Hammer, Keith Emerson and Rick Wakeman are the best in terms of overall technicality, style and influence.
If anyone knows where I can get a copy of some Flute and Voice (Indo-Prog/Raga Rock) albums please PM me! Many thanks!

Kieth Emerson was more essential to ELPs sound then other keyboardists are to their bands.

They dont even have a bass player AND a guitarist (although Greg counts as both) and they still make as full a sound as anyone else

For solo sound tho id say Wakeman, Moraz, or Rudess

I love both Emerson and Wakeman, though I have a slight preference for the former. PF's Rick Wright may not be on the same technical level as these two, but he is indispensable for the band's sound, as well as being quite remarkable as a songwriter. Other greats are Peter Bardens, Dave Stewart, David Sinclair, and obviously Tony Banks and Jon Lord. I also agree with who mentioned Ray Manzarek and Steve Winwood - who's also one of the best voices in rock.
