[Music] Best keyboard players

[BN9 BHA]

We've had best drummers, guitarists and bass players, how about best keyboard players?

Dave Greenfield of The Stranglers has always been a favourite.

I'm also a fan of The Charlatans, so Rob Collins ( RIP ) and Tony Rodgers.
Jerry Dammers of The Specials.

Dave Greenfield was a massive inspiration when I was in my band in the 80's although we stared out doing Specials/FB3 covers before I got to improvise so I'd have to put Dammers in there. And then me, of course

Haven’t we had this before, recently? Loads always pick Rick Wakeman and Jon Lord.


For me based on musical loves, rather than opting for classically trained technicians:

Dave Greenfield
Ray Manzarek (The Doors)
Brian Eno
Vangelis
Jean Michel Jarre

Probably, but I don't start many threads so don't tell everyone

No mention for a local man (Cuckfield) Keith Hayman who is the keyboard player for Cliff Richard plus stands in for many other groups on tour.

I'd also chuck Clint Boon of Inspiral Carpets in the mix.

I am not as much into music as many on here and he performs locally in pubs etc but with a guitar as he is not permitted to play keyboards apparently. I think, but could be wrong, that he is actually Cliff Richard director of music..

Christ on a bike. You are only 10 years older than me but sometimes it's like 'meet the ancestors'

Nothing to do with age but to likes and dislikes I like music generally but do not know about who plays with who and in which groups.

I'm confused now, why isn't permitted to play keyboards in pubs?
