    Not many Rock keyboardists who can also write in the classical genre. About as progressive as you can get. JON LORD.

      @BackingTrackCenter  12 днів тому +6

      Jon Lord was truly a master at bridging rock and classical music! His ability to fuse the two genres makes him one of the most progressive keyboardists of all time. He definitely deserves recognition, maybe in Part 2! Thanks for the reminder!

      Vero JON LORD rip è importante anche in chiave progressive è grazie a LUI che i DEEP PURPLE sono anche un po' PROG ora c'è DON AIREY ed anche Lui ha con se un bagaglio progressivo con COLOSSEUM 2 e RAINBOW. E poi HUGH BANTON altro straordinario KEYBOARD MAN con i VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR di PETER HAMMILL!!!!;! Grande nel creare tappeti tessiture DARK inquietanti gotiche classiche barocche sinfoniche..... insomma un altro GRANDE mago della tastiera prog rock!!!!!!!!!!! E c'è ne sarebbero anche molti ALTRI dello stesso livello bravura!!!!!!!!!!

Ma mi permetto anche di aggiungerci un altra band made in USA molto valida...gli STYX ed il suo straordinario tastierista DENNIS DE YOUNG.La band era piu AOR oriented che Progressive ma sicuramente i loro primi 5/6 albums sono Ok abbastanza orientati al progressive !!!!!!!

His technique is not as high, though, specially comparing with most of those mentioned - which probably gives us more kudos for his compositions... So, in short, he was better at composing than playing (not to say that he wasn't / isn't a good keyboard player)

      Tom Scholz is much better known as a guitarist than a keyboardist.

    Part 2 of this must surely have Ray Manzarek, Rod Argent, and of course Jon Lord; all very much pioneers of the use of keyboards in rock music in the 60's.

    It's Emerson and then everyone else for #2. and below. Stagecraft aside, he could outplay the field before he formed ELP. Yes, he was that good...

    • @BackingTrackCenter
      @BackingTrackCenter  7 днів тому

      I totally agree! Emerson was a keyboard monster, way ahead of his time. Hard to compete with what he brought to prog. Thanks for the comment!

  • @Dave_B33
    @Dave_B33 9 днів тому +1

    Mark Kelly from Marillion should probably be somewhere in the top-10. Extremely talented, has a great sound, and his compositions are exactly what the given song needs without being over-the-top. He is probably my favorite along with Tony Banks, though I love me some Wakeman and Emerson too.

    • @BackingTrackCenter
      @BackingTrackCenter  9 днів тому
