Well it's between Wakeman and Banks when it comes to accomplishments. But for technical skill, style, and uniqueness, I'll go with Patrick Moraz. Why not.

I simply cannot pick between Wakeman, Banks, Emerson, and Stewart...............and Tout from Renaissance always impressed me also as well as Corea.

Wakeman, but there are also Emerson, Wright, Bardens, Stewart and much more. Different kinds of skill and different reasons to vote for them.

Larry Fast is pretty amazing and very close to Prog.  I haven't really "got" his later works,
preferring his first three, which I think are some of the best compositions of the 20th Century.

This thread lacks a few Italians methinks. The Vincenzo brothers, Toni Pagliuca and Patrizio Fariselli to start off withBig smile


Or maybe this wonderfully eccentric dude?

To me Zawinul and Corea are great but they are Jazz keyboardist, which is a totally different category so they don't count in my eyes, Ratledge to a lesser extent. But for me, Keith Emerson is the greatest keyboardist in Rock and Prog history

Since you said "favorite" I have to go with the guy who has given me more hours of listening pleasure than anyone else (on the list): Mr. Anthony Banks. (Is he by chance any relation to Mary Poppins' employer?)

With Clive Nolan, Pete Bardens, Mark Kelly, Tony Banks, Jon Tout, Rick Wright and Kerry Minnear very close behind.

Tony Banks is my favorite prog musician, period, so I would vote for him if I was allowed.  What do I need to do to be allowed to vote in the polls?

I agree that they are more Jazz than Prog but, there are Prog elements in their work.
 
I suggest that those of you who haven't heard any of Zawinul's work to start off with these tracks, all from his time in Weather Report:
 
"Procession" - Procession - 1983
"Birdland" - Heavy Weather - 1977
"A Remark You Made" - Heavy Weather - 1977
"Gibraltar" - Black Market - 1976
"Black Market" - Black Market - 1976
"Dream Clock" - Night Passage - 1980
"D flat Waltz" - Domino Theory - 1984
"Boogie Woogie Waltz" - Sweetnighter - 1973
 
Here's a video for "Procession":
