No mention of Billy Ritchie (Clouds/1-2-3)? Shocking! Acknowledged as the first person to bring keyboards to the foreground of the band, in a Rock organ trio at the Marquee in 1967 when Keith and Rick et al were playing background. Don't take my word for it, read the history. Yet another glaring example of how commercial sales sadly dictate taste and historical knowledge.

great list 
Mike Oldfield is an interesting one, he could be on any list virtually 
JPJ is great on In Through The Out Door. That's Led Zep's 'keyboard album'

These lists are whack. Ridiculous, and I would know. I am 55 and roadied for LAs best prog band in the 80s...The Fents. The New Yorkers, with Chris Poland on guitar, and the Fents were the deepest bands at the time beside Holdsworth, who was from San Diego/England. Most of the bands listed had players that can not be compared to Holzman, or Watkins (Happy the Man).
