@@BackingTrackCenter There so many beautiful ones to choose from. My number one, is not shared among so many prog fans - it's Nursery Cryme by Genesis - this one is just so emotional, compared to their (still very very good) later works. Seven Stones from this album, has an amazing odd emotional/melancholic beauty, with the most fantastic mellotron/guitar/drums final - almost driving me to tears. Trespass and Trick are 2&3, Lamb, Foxtrot and "In the Court..." by KC are next.

He had a degree in music from the Royal College of Music, and had a passion for renaissance and medieval music, as you can hear in so many GG songs. Minnear and Ray Shulman wrote most of Gentle Giant's music.

Nice to see Vangelis get some love. (It’s Van-GAL-is, btw). His soundtracks are outstanding, none better than “Blade Runner.” Most of his work was improvised on the spot while watching clips of the movie he was working on. He wasn’t a fan of the limelight, didn’t care for the music industry, with reason: his 1970 album “L'Apocalypse des animaux” (for the film of the same name) was blocked from release for over two years because a music executive didn’t like one track on it (“Création du monde”).

Thanks for having a rounded list with European players. It is a pity it was only 10, as there are so many great musicians you could have included.

Although Victor Borge was not in the prog scene, he is undoubtedly very talented and funny.😂 Thanks for bringing him to light!🤩🎹

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...

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!

Bonjour ! Pas encore, mais c'est une excellente idée. Francis Décamps est un maître des claviers. Peut-être qu'il apparaîtra dans une prochaine vidéo ! Merci pour la suggestion.

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.

That’s quite an impressive list of names! Hugh Banton, Vittorio Nocenzi, and others you mentioned are definitely worthy. We'll definitely consider them for a Part 2. Thanks for the detailed suggestions!

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.
