I know that most of you dont know the keyboardist Dave Greenslade (Colosseum) or you think that is a ridiculous poll because for you Rick Wakeman is far better.
But for my opinion Greenslade is better (unique,complex,atmospheric). -------------

| Greenslade is a really marvellous player but so is Wakeman. I'm sitting on the fence but I expect the Yes fanboys will make sure Wakeman wins. |

No. Greenslade deserves to be in the same league as Wakeman, Emerson, Minnear, Banks, Bardens and the rest of the greats. It's not a joke at all. On balance I'm going for Greenslade after all. |

I agree with Tony Fisher; Greenslade deserves to be in the same league as Wakemwn, etc... I love GREENSLADE albums, he's a great keyboardist, underrated!!! |

In terms of technique it's no contest - Wakeman wins by a mile. But Dave Greenslade is a very good technical player and I enjoy his stuff just as much. Wakeman never surpassed the awesome Hammond solo Greenslade did on Colosseum's Valentyne Suite, and I love DG's use of mellotrons on the Greenslade albums. In short they are both great, but different... ------------- "It's 1973, almost dinnertime and I'm 'aving 'oops!" - Gene Hunt |

| Dave Greenslade is a very, very good keyboardist. But he can't match Wakeman in skill or technical innovation. Compositionally, it's hard to compare them as they are very different, but I could understand an argument that Greenslade deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as Wakeman there. |

| Wakeman for me, much as I enjoy lots of Greenslade's playing. Wakeman is a much deeper and more interesting contributor, especially on Fragile. |

While Rick is the uncontested keyboard ruler, there are quite a few just right behind. Greenslade is among that elite group and frankly speaking is utterly deserving of kudos . Therefore , I have annointed Dave a vote because it may never happen again! Rick has been winning polls since 1971! ------------- I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth. |
