Billy Joel

The Piano Man at #1, Jon Lord at # 2, and John Paul Jones at #3. Where's Elton John?

(Among others) Should've had these on your list:

Brian Auger:

Keith Emerson:

Rick Wakeman:

He's amazing. I've seen him live four times. I wish I had the money to see his show from the tour with Elton John. They are two of the most accomplished and talented pianists today.

He was the fellow who originally brought that great sounding Hammond Organ to the worlds attention.
On of the giants of Jazz look for "I Got My Mojo Working" great stuff.

Don't hate; Linda has some subtle but quintessential playing to the music (like most keyboardists).

oo right. Doesn't she have a 2 note solo in the middle of that a half step apart on an Electone? lol

reply
✞Knight... to FAWKES'... 2012/06/27 17:36:19

The entire beginning would be ruined without her playing; did you actually listen to the song?

reply
FAWKES'... to ✞Knight... 2012/06/28 02:50:31

That's Paul playing the Piano. The tune was arranged and produced by George Martin. Linda plays the Electone - that Wurlitzer sounding thing you hear during the 'reggae' bridge.
