Well, I think Erik is fairly well known in prog circles though. I never even heard of the guy you mentioned.

Ok, for real this time, not five but a few. Kerry Livgren (Kansas) - Some great stuff on their early albums for sure. Duncan MacKay - One hit wonder? Jeff Wayne - Another one hit wonder?

Dunno.I see his name mentioned a lot and always a lot of talk about Camel before and after Bardens. He is obviously highly regarded but is he considered to be at the same level of Emerson, Wakeman and Banks or maybe even better? I like him a lot but never include him in my lists. I suspect though that's because he's just not exciting or flashy. I like a keyboard flourish or three. Even Banks would cut loose occasionally!

some of the musicians mentioned are a surprise for me. I mean how is Jon Lord underrated, he's one of the most respected and beloved musicians. I do not understand.
Or Jordan Ruddess. I don't find him underrated at all, in fact quite the contrary, he gets so much praise (maybe not on PA, but elsewhere). I think Kevin Moore is rather underrated.

Good call on Saga. They were doing rapid fire guitar/keyboard synchronized solos long before it became commonplace in the 90s.
4 others Alan Pasqua Gary Husband Dennis DeYoung (yes absolutely!) Trevor Rabin (just as good on keyboards as guitar) |

In my opinion, one of the greatest keyboardist of the early prog era, was
JOHN PETER ROBINSON, QUATERMASS. He was better than Keith Emerson. He is like a conductor of orchestra in the records by Shawn Phillips, listen to Futhermore (1974). Edited by jamesbaldwin - July 13 2019 at 17:59 |

Jim's better represented on Gamma 1 and Gamma 2 (Mitchell Froom joined as keyboardist for Gamma 3). Jim's synth solo on "Skin and Bone" is awesome.
