c_s_1987 Posted March 16, 2008 Report Posted March 16, 2008 My top three are definitely Keith Emerson, Rick Wakeman and Don Walker from Cold Chisel.
Tony Baloni Posted March 16, 2008 Author Report Posted March 16, 2008 Hmm, I'll have to check out this Don Walker guy. Never heard of Cold Chisel.
c_s_1987 Posted March 16, 2008 Report Posted March 16, 2008 Well, of course, they are undoubtedly the most underrated band of all time (outside of Australia, at least). Some of his best keyboard work is in Chisel's most popular song, Khe Sanh (1978)
Ombre Vivante Posted March 16, 2008 Report Posted March 16, 2008 Martin L. Gore of Depeche Mode Vince Clarke of Depeche Mode, Yazoo, and Erasure Walter/Wendy Carlos Gillian Gilbert of NewOrder and The Other Two
chinchu Posted March 18, 2008 Report Posted March 18, 2008 Jordan Rudess Chuck Leavell Chick Korea The guy from Toto (I can't remember his name)
neil Posted March 24, 2008 Report Posted March 24, 2008 Ray Manzerek Tony Banks and the individual who always playing in the flat below me (not).
MindCrime Posted August 1, 2009 Report Posted August 1, 2009 Nicky Hopkins Good call. Not many people know who he is, but he provided keyboards for many artists including Rolling Stones, Who, Beatles, Jeff Beck, Neil Young, Jefferson Airplane, Steve Miller Band, etc. Also that haven't been mentioned Benmont Tench (Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers Dennis De Young (Styx) Alicia Keys
MuzikTyme Posted August 1, 2009 Report Posted August 1, 2009 Probably has been mentioned but besides the great composers now dead I'd have to say: Rick Wakeman
edna Posted August 1, 2009 Report Posted August 1, 2009 Good call. Not many people know who he is, but he provided keyboards for many artists including Rolling Stones, Who, Beatles, Jeff Beck, Neil Young, Jefferson Airplane, Steve Miller Band, etc. Nicky Hopkins is God. He can make me cry... Ian Stewart did a very good job backstage and in the dark... maybe not a great one but there he was... the sixth Stone.
MuzikTyme Posted August 1, 2009 Report Posted August 1, 2009 Rick Wakeman Rick Wright. I find it interesting that both great keyboardists' names are "Rick" and end with a "W" Just my observation, anyway. Let's not forget "R"edgar "W"inter I regret that the above video is not in sync but try and overlook trivial matters and witness raw talent!
Viaene Posted August 2, 2009 Report Posted August 2, 2009 I'm very impressed by the work of Reese Wynans, especially during the Montreux shows with Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Harleyman Posted September 28, 2009 Report Posted September 28, 2009 Jon Lord, surely. Listening to Highway Star again and just amazing. Who else plays Bach like Bad to the Bone?
