Tis I again, with yet another silly poll! Though i'm sure it has been done before many times, i'd like to get some feedback on who you think is the best keyboardist, on at least the list I have given. Of course I have to go with my personal favorite, Rick Wakeman. ------------- "It's amazing that we've been able to put up with each other for 35 years.

Rudess is deffaintly the most talented, but he's ruining dreamtheater. He's suffactaing the rest of the band. That makes him a bad keyboard player, he's gotta be more chill about his playing, like moore was.
so, of course, i give it to wakeman ------------- I can strangle a canary in a tin can and it would be really original, but that wouldn't save it from sounding like utter sh*t. -Stone Beard |

Wakeman and Emerson are the best, but Banks and Evans are my favourite. |

Emerson. And, wasn't Hammond-Hammond Tull's bassist?

It's close, but I'll 'ave to say Emerson is the best keyboardist, though Wakeman is my favorite. ------------- And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I don't mind.

My vote is definitely for Rick and someone said they were tied between Rick and Keith but it was Rick "by a nose" I was initially indignant at the "Yes proved they could play without Wakeman" quote but then I thought, yeah okay, fair enough.
