Rick Wakeman, excelent in Strawbs and Yes as part of a band and even better as solo artist. Iván |

Why post the same poll four times? It doesn't make sense. I'll consider making the time to vote when a keyboardists poll appears that doesn't exclude fusion keyboardists. Also, Mike Oldfield is recognized mainly as a guitarist and shouldn't be on this poll. Other excellent keyboard players left out: Claudio Simonetti, Jens Johansson, Mickey Simmonds, Ton Scherpenzeel, Tony Tartarini, Toshio Egawa, Keiko Kumagai, Motoi Sakuraba, Kevin Leonard, Kenichi Oguchi, Kenichi Mitsuda, Hiroyuki Namba, etc. |

That's good for Keith, and American critics don't like Godzilla movies. They're on the edge of their seats waiting for the next all-flash-no-substance Colin Farrell flick. Most of our critics don't recognize metaphors, anyway. |

| Rick Wakeman for me too. I think as Ivan suggests, the fact that he is such a successful solo artist, and a member (plus former member) of a major band, demonstrates his versitility. He is of course also enormously gifted, as are all those listed in the poll. |

Tony Banks for me. I mean, the man gave us the New Jerusalem section of Suppers Ready, The Knife, The Lamb Lies Down, Back in NYC, and of course, WATCHER OF THE SKIES. Vote Banks, you know it makes sense

I've stayed out of this but I can't no longer this is very difficult but for sheer out and out ability it's a straight fight between Wakeman and Emerson and I think Wakeman wins.Just!!!!!!

For Yes plus solo career, I'd go with Rick Wakeman ------------- "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." |

I would say that Wakemen is probably the best all rounder and most technical player on that list IMO. My favourite for overall feel, and sense of melody, good composition etc, would be Tony Banks However, there are two keyboard players missing off that list who could possibly blow ALL of these musos out of the water, but I'm not stating that as a fact because I'm not a concert pianist, degree level music lecturer etc etc so I wouldn't know for sure... but how about .. JOHN TOUT - RENNAISANCE Does anyone here have a formal music qualification that allows them to make an objective and informed assessment of those listed??
