I voted Tony Banks(other)

But Chick Corea slays everyone on that list without question

Prog is the new punk, becuase kids who shop at Hot Topic don't know Bill Bruford is God.

My fave is Rick Wright. But Tony Banks should be on that poll no doubt!

Manfred Mann is an underrated keyboard player and the Earthband are likewise. If you like progressive rock music, listen to any Earthband album.

What about Mike Ratledge from Soft Machine?

Also, Tony Banks and Jordan Rudess should be up there.

Plus, Jon Lord (if you class Deep Purple as Prog), and perhaps Neal Morse (if only for his work with Transatlantic & solo stuff).

Agree...

Also...did anyone mention Flavio Premoli (PFM) ?

My #1 is Keith Emerson, but I think Eddie Jobson should have been on
this poll.
