John Hawken gets my vote as favorite, if not best...

richardh, I thought the album he did with Steve Hogarth was very good, so you're not the only one

I thought I would trawl the thread to see who hasn't been mentioned yet (and apologies if I didn't look hard enough)
Vangelis Papathanassiou - forget the synth stuff 1975 and onwards (although I like it). He was very important as a prog musician on Aphrodites Child 666 as well as making some very interesting solo albums such as Earth, Hypothesis and The Dragon.
Rod Argent must also be worth mentioning if only for Hold Your Head Up.
Manfred Mann was a great prog keyboard player in the seventies as well.
Ton Scherpenzeel (Kayak) is always overlooked for some strange reason. Fantastic player especially on the first four Kayak albums.
Good to see mentions for our modern day keyboard heroes Par Lindh,Martin Orford and Fred Schendel.
I also like Richard Barbieri a lot . Could be viewed as the modern equivalent of Richard Wright?! I seem to be the only person who likes the album he did with Steve Hogarth.

My vote was for Billy Ritchie, the first lead rock keyboard player, but Ray Manzarek is another very fine musician.

In prog, my favourite is definitely Rick Wright, followed by Minnear, Correa, Stewart, Correa, maybe Wakeman and Greenwood too. I don't really relate emotionally to Banks's playing style, though I do like the parts that he writes.
But barring Wright, my favourites are really outside prog and mainly in jazz/jazz based music - Peterson, Evans, Brubeck, Dennerlein, Rhoda Scott, Stevie Wonder, Fiona Apple. I have only watched and heard Anton Baronin once when Igor Butman came over to play so I won't call him a favourite but I did love his performance in that concert, he was wonderful.

One of my favorite Doors songs is Yes, The River Knows - beautiful lyrics, drumming, vocals and piano.

But of course he is. Sure as honey. I think he was even awarded with best musician in 68 over Jimi. Not that that says anything really, but you can't deny the man's skills. He was the bass, harmonies and vocal contributor. What he did in some of those live gigs simply defies belief. He's obviously got a brain in each extremity. |

I love Ray Manzarek. Not fully prog, but I adore his organ and piano work.
