I'll go with Emerson, then Bardens (definitely no lightweight!) and
Wakeman. Where's Kit Watkins, though?!?

But the question was who is the best Moog player not "keyboardist". Though Wakeman has excellent technique his range of synthesiser tone colours is very limited.

I think Emerson's early work (e.g. synth patches on 'Pictures' or ascerbic over-modulation on 'Fanfare' solo) put him leagues ahead in the use of Moog stakes.

I think Moraz should definitely be included for his superb Moog work on 'Relayer', 'Refugee' and 'The Story of I' - a unique sonic palette here.

Bob Moog might have invented the instrument, but Emerson invented how to play it, if that makes sense.

Why is Jordan Rudess on this poll? He didn't even use Moogs until Octavarium, and even then he used them very minimally. I love the stuff he's done with them, but there's so little of it that it seems strange to include him as an option.

My vote on this poll is Wakeman but if I could vote for a super-duper underrated moog player it would be Kalman Matolcsy. He even made his own moogs and is barely known. You can hear him at this site. http://www.sdss.jhu.edu/~szalay/music/pantarhei.html
Best of 2006 that I've heard:
PFM-Stati Di Immaginazione
Zenit-Surrender (Best "unknown" album)
Oaksenham - Conquest of Pacific
2007:
Phideaux - Doomsday Afternoon
La Torre Del Alchimista - Neo

Unfortunately, he is rather unknown...

^You're putting words in my mouth.  The poll is only referring to this poll.  I wonder how good Rudess is at drums...

I voted Rudess because he's in the poll, but to vote for an actual Moog player, I would vote for Mr. Keith Emerson.
