Slamman Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Ok, I have to admit, I'll be picking rock, but as mentioned in the last one, there's no genre lock. I really am partial to Black Crowes' Ed Harsch A runner up for his multi-instrumentalism, Paul Raymond Has to be someone who's still working today, not passed on, BTW Zakk Wylde is pretty good on keys, although one of the World's Best (underappreciated)?? I was going to add to the Runner's up, Rick Wright, but he has passed on so, Yes' Rick Wakeman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhoda Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Obviously Jean Michel Jarre I love Jean Michel Jarre, but to me his live performances have ruined any chance of me considering him "the best". Disappointing doesn't come into it when he really doesn't do all that much but show his face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disappointing doesn't come into it when he really doesn't do all that much but show his face. I know that there were concerts where he was only pretending to play... But his last world tour was 100% real and live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Pink Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Rick Wakeman from Yes is one of the best in my opinion. Also if you can call Richard D. James (Aphex Twin) a keyboardist. ＲＵＢＢΣＲ░Ｊ♢ＨＮＮＹ （スオッ） Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slamman Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 I wanted to put George Winston of Windham Hill fame, but for me, he's not prolific enough. Did get to see him live with the parents though, they all dressed up, and he wasn't, so it was also a good laugh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RATEDR307 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 John Lord from Deep Purple? Or maybe JPJ from led Zeppelin? Maybe they're not the world's best, but I really like their work. Rick Wright is also great. And maybe Freddie Mercury for his piano work in Queen? I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devilrock28 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 (edited) John Paul Jones. He plays everything. Keyboard, bass, triangle and everything else known to man. He's pretty great at it too. Edited April 10, 2009 by devilrock28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makeshyft Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Are we talking technical skill, or general mood? If we're going with mood and feel, I'll go with Ray Manzarek of The Doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Tequeli Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Ray Manzarek acted as the bassist of The Doors using a keyboard right? I always thought that was pretty interesting. When we say keyboardist we generally mean in a rock band, right? Which is why I'll not mention Aphex Twin. I'll go with Johnny Greenwood of Radiohead, he's a pretty talented multi-instrumentalist and his unusually amazing skill as an electronic musician has helped the band develop into something very different.
