who the hell is ric ragno :lol:

ERIC RAGNO KPOTY 2008

David Paich - Chops, songwriting skills, tastefulness, variety
Tony Banks - He's so understated on stage, but he brings so much to Genesis's sound. If you've seen 'em live, you kno what I mean

I love prog bands but guys like Rudess don't always move me. Kevin Moore and Derek Sheridian were both more interesting players when they were in DT.

Robert Lamm

Christine McVie

by **StoneCold** » Fri Feb 27, 2009 6:28 am

Robert's a great player too. So is Bill Champlin while we're talkin Chicago.

Have you heard any of Robert's work outside of Chicago? His solo albums and his collaboration with Gerry Beckley and Carl Wilson are great.

Wakeman, definitely.

by **Rick** » Fri Feb 27, 2009 8:47 am

Hey, where the hell is Eric Ragno? The poll is flawed.

by **artist4perry** » Fri Feb 27, 2009 8:47 am

Jon Cain. His classical work is also stelar.

He shoulnt even be on the lists you dick inhaler, how about the real Jon {not Friga} Jon Lord from deep purple, he better than all these fuckers

by **Tito** » Sat Feb 28, 2009 1:46 am

Faithfully, Open Arms, Seperate Ways, Don't Stop Believin', and Who's Cryin Now just for starters. Cain keyboard/piano is the first thing you hear in these and other American iconic songs.

What other "American iconic" songs open with Cain's piano?
You named them all already.

I'll give you Faithfully, DSB and Separate Ways. Especially DSB.
That's as far as any kind of iconicism goes though.

kevin moore

he's not in dt anymore so it counts...

by **conversationpc** » Sat Feb 28, 2009 5:38 am

On that list, Rick Wakeman is far and away the most talented.
