 Topic: RICK WAKEMAN vs. KEITH EMERSON
Posted: June 30 2005 at 15:26 |
The Battle of the Keyboardists!
- Wakemans seriousness or Emersons wild antics.
- Wakemans moving style or Emersons explosive rapidness
- Wakemans "get the job done & do it great" or Emersons "hey look at me"
- Wakemans cape or Emersons weoponry
You choose! Personally I like Rick Wakeman. Now, wait,before all of you attack me like you did with the Dream Theater incident ( you know who you are) . GIve your opinion and don't attack me of mine. Thanks! Let the Battle begin!

Wakeman for recordings. Emerson in a live show.

I prefer the subdued, tastefulness of Tony Banks, thank you.

Wakeman with Yes > Emerson
Wakeman Solo < Emerson
|

If it's worth playing, it's worth playing loud!

So hard to split them, there are times when I think it's him or it's him then I go back to him  it's bloody difficult  but,it is him; Rick Emerson

I prefer Rick Wakeman's style of playing, just a tiny little bit.
But Emerson is the better composer.

I'm a huge fan of both men's work- yet I personally would choose Wakeman, as despite him being often as flash as Emerson sometimes, he had more subtlety in his piano work than Emerson's frantic workouts. 'Catherine Howard' and the beautiful 'Birdman Of Alcatraz' are some of the greatest compositions ever written. In fact, the piano motif that runs throughout 'The Myths And Legends Of King Arthur' is also one of my favourite piano pieces ever; it's short, but very sweet.

Wakeman actually made Yes worse IMO.
for that reason, I choose Emerson.

TP!
None of them are rubbish! If you prefer Kerry Minear (Whom I saw twice in the 70's) I can understand but come on none of these guys are crap. They are all accomplished musicians.
