OK people, been getting into this scene of late, I'd like to know who
you think stands out as a keyboardist (although I'm sure some of you
will vote just based on which band you like the most) Try and discuss why you like each musician too ... if you're going to vote it would be cool if you're familiar with the music of at least three of them  I should probably mention (before I get slammed  )
that while main men Roine Stolt (Flower Kings), Jacob Holm-Lupo (White
Willow) and Niklas Berg (Anekdoten) also dabble in keys, I have decided
not to include them, nor have I gone for keyboardists in prog-metal
bands ... I'm sure I've still forgetten someone ... so sorry in advance

That first Froislie vote is mine ... he gets it narrowly ahead of
Anglagard's Thomas Johnson ... mainly for his work on Wobbler's
Hinterland album ... to be fair these keyboardists seem to enjoy more
room in these projects than many of their "rivals" ... at least based
on what I've heard ... BTW, I've heard all of them except Jan Tariq Rahman and Bjorn Lynne ------------- "Death to Utopia! Death to faith! Death to love! Death to hope?" thunders the 20th century. "Surrender, you pathetic dreamer.” "No" replies the unhumbled optimist "You are only the present." |

Anna Sofi Dahlberg .... I have seen this stunning beauty with her tiny hands touching the Mighty M400 Tron two years ago during a concert near The Hague in The Neterlands, WHAT A VISUAL AND MUSICAL HIGHLIGHT  !!!

| You forgot the fantastic keyboardist from Sweden's A.C.T. Jerry Sahlin! His orchestrations are complex, varied, modern, and always wonderful. My vote goes for him. |

Trotsky I'm surprised you have omitted two major players: Mats Oberg of Mats Morgan Band - several threads elsewhere on his skills - and Jens Johnasson , check out JJ's entry on the archives. And if you shift into nu.fusion, then Estbjorn Svenssen and Bugge Wesseltoft immediately come to mind. Start again? |
