I particularly like Eddie Jobson's work with UK and his stuff with Zappa. And I don't think Kevin Moore ever used a Moog. -------------

The fact that Jan Hammer and Patrick Moraz are not on this
poll, but a lightweight like Peter Bardens is show it up for what it is...a sham...and a farce...a charade...and a masquerade of a poll...a bamboozle...a cheap counterfeit...and that's not all!!!... you'll hear from my second!!! |

You're right, Jan Hammer and Patrick Moraz should be on any poll about moog players. However overall I'd still go for Uncle Rick. |

Hmmm???
Tony Banks is an Arp 2000 guy...
Peter Bardens done some amazing things on the Moog... Jan Hammer out classes every one here, but as one poster said on a another thread [this is an progressive rock site] So I would have to go with Keith Emerson followed by Wakeman then Moraz...

Hey, thus far I always seemed to vote for the winner in Fraja's polls. Not this time though, sinds my fave Moogist (Rick Wakeman) seems to lose from Keith Emerson. That can change though, and anyway, it was a tough choice. Emerson and Wakeman are almost even for me. Wakeman is the Moogman for Moogtron this time. |

Moore, not a moog player, Rudess also isn't and neither Banks! Pretty certain Lord didn't play moog either, he's not known for his synth work in particular anyway. That leaves:- Bardens Emerson Wakeman I choose Emerson! ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

Mr SCHULZE and his prestigious gallery of modular / non modular Moog synth (minimoog, polymoog) abstract, cerebral, epic "synth" works. It's fare better than the boring strings / symphonic approach & imitation of Wakeman

Would you say that Mahavishnu's Birds of Fire is not progressive rock? Or his playing with Jeff Beck? Or his solo work? I thought progressive was about knocking down the barriers between rock, jazz, and classical. I think except for Emerson, who has a totally distinctive style, Hammer plays circles around any of those other guys, Alan Gowen too, rest his soul. |

I voted Rudess because he's in the poll, but to vote for an actual Moog player, I would vote for Mr. Keith Emerson. -------------

| Rick Wakeman is the best keybaordist in music, period. With Keith Emerson coming in a close second. |

My vote on this poll is Wakeman but if I could vote for a super-duper underrated moog player it would be Kalman Matolcsy. He even made his own moogs and is barely known. You can hear him at this site. http://www.sdss.jhu.edu/~szalay/music/pantarhei.html - http://www.sdss.jhu.edu/~szalay/music/pantarhei.html ------------- Best of 2006 that I've heard: PFM-Stati Di Immaginazione Zenit-Surrender (Best "unknown" album) Oaksenham - Conquest of Pacific 2007: Phideaux - Doomsday Afternoon La Torre Del Alchimista - Neo |

Why is Jordan Rudess on this poll? He didn't even use Moogs until
Octavarium, and even then he used them very minimally. I love the stuff
he's done with them, but there's so little of it that it seems strange
to include him as an option.

But the question was who is the best Moog player not "keyboardist". Though Wakeman has excellent technique his range of synthesiser tone colours is very limited. I think Emerson's early work (e.g. synth patches on 'Pictures' or ascerbic over-modulation on 'Fanfare' solo) put him leagues ahead in the use of Moog stakes. I think Moraz should definitely be included for his superb Moog work on 'Relayer', 'Refugee' and 'The Story of I' - a unique sonic palette here.

Wakeman. Where's Kit Watkins, though?!? |
