A big thanks goes out to fellow poster Shawnee_b for giving me the idea for this thread. This would include ANY piano players, keyboard players, organ players, or even synthesizer players over the years. My favorites include - 1) Elton John, he's still my favorite all-time. Just a fantastic musician on keyboards. His work on "Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding", the first track on his great double album, single CD Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is just jaw-dropping. 2) Billy Joel, not nicknamed The Piano Man for nothing, this guy has always been a great pianist and keyboardist. His early signature song, "The Piano Man" is ample proof of his talent. 3) Keith Emerson, the wonderful keyboardist for Emerson, Lake and Palmer, he was one of the earliest musicians to incorporate classical music into a rock music setting. He's my favorite of the "progressive rock" keyboardists. His style and pizazz were second to none among rock/classical players. 4) Paul McCartney, yep, THAT Paul McCartney, I liked pretty much all of his piano and keyboard work he did with the Beatles. The song, "Lady Madonna" immediately comes to mind. And I really like some of the keyboard work he's done on his solo albums. "Maybe I'm Amazed" is just fantastic, the studio AND the live versions. 5) Brian Eno, my all-time favorite piano, synthesizer and "ambient" keyboardist/player. His slow, beautiful ambient music is some of THE best and most relaxing ambient or "new age" music you'll ever hear. Highly recommended. Here are some of my favorites, who are some of yours?
One of the reasons I have him as my number one is not only his work with yes but also his work after he left. Journey to the Center of the earth if you listen to the keyboards is amazing.No reason to BE sorry, Max. Wakeman was and still IS a great keyboard player. He JUST missed my top 5, he would be my #6. His work on the early Yes albums, especially on Close To The Edge and Fragile, is just fantastic.Sorry but I consider Rick Wakeman of Yes fame to be the top keyboard player. If I had to choose after that it would be Billy Joel. Then kind of a toss up of Keith Emerson or Elton John.
Elton started out great but toward the end I could have cared less about his work.
Richard Clayderman, hands down.
Good stuff Denizen. The second Jean Michael good, first couldn't hear right I;m deaf!
Try this one. It is very loud.
yeah Billy Joel is the first one who immediately came to my mind,then yeah elton john like you said,another really good one is kevin kronen i think is the last name of reo spedwagon the best of them all of course that cant be refuted is jerry lee lewis,the guy could play it with his feet no less. oh another one that comes to mind is mickey gilley,he did a good jerry lee lewis impersonation.A big thanks goes out to fellow poster Shawnee_b for giving me the idea for this thread.

It's because they Lewis & Gilley & Jimmy Swaggart were percolating on the same bloodline...jerry lee lewis,the guy could play it with his feet no less. oh another one that comes to mind is mickey gilley,he did a good jerry lee lewis impersonation.
