12. Not Better Than Emerson, Though

Edited on Thu Aug-07-03 01:12 PM by ProfessorGAC

I'm a big John Lord fan. Always thought he was a way better soloist than Blackmore. Best player in the band, except for the short stint Satriani played with Purple.

But, Emerson is the best organist i've ever heard in rock. He melded classical, jazz, and rock elements into his playing and his technique is quite superior to John Lord's.

Wakeman's technique is far better than Lord's (better than Emerson's too) but his playing is far more predictable and less adventerous.

However, if i had to take one guy as a "pure" organist, it would be Lord.

BTW: I do like Hudson too! He was the best player in The Band, IMO.
