I am not actually a fan of Emerson's keyboard style. I almost chose Wakeman but had to go Moraz, I prefer his jazz fusion style.

No Dave Sinclair from Caravan?! I suppose I'll have to choose `other' then!
Have to say, though, I have a lot of love for Vincent Crane's playing in Atomic Rooster, good to see him on this list!

On this list, is a tie between Rick Wakeman and Keith Emerson. My real favorite keyboardist, however, is John Evans.

Jurgen Fritz was a supreme talent. Also would like to mention the manic Manfred Mann, the delectable Flavio Premoli and the underated Richard Harvey (Gryphon) .

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Wakeman, hands down. I also think Thijs van Leer ought to be on that list, but he's still second to Wakeman in my book.

He rules just because he is good with atmosphere. I don't know any other renowned keyboardist who would be willing to play Wright's kind of stuff.

Rick Wright is the anti-Wakeman. He used so few notes to such great effect.
PS. My second choice is Jon Lord.

Who is your favorite keys player that played and recorded in the seventies period?
Sorry if your favorite is not included. (there is an Other option)
My personal favorite is Jurgen Fritz from Triumvirat. When he plays, he really moves me! A great technique and real emotion, together like no one else.
Who is your favorite?
