I regard Banks as a middle-order Keyboard player, a good journeyman, certainly not in the same breath as Emerson, Ritchie, Wakeman, but he gets my vote on this occasion.

Agreed.

Tony Banks, because although he never was a virtuoso player, he could always work very well with sounds and moods. Plus he could play complex stuff, more pop / rock stuff, movie music, classical stuff...

Banks is a brilliant composer, but when it comes to artistic freedom and expressions I have more admiration for Kerrry Minnear.
