Best Keyboard/Synth/Piano track ?

[Prod3]

So we've got a best guitar solo thread but there are some really great songs/tracks out there with great keyboard/synth/piano parts and solos

What is/are your favorite(s)?


One of mine is Funeral For A Friend by Elton John

 

[Mr. Daystar]

Anything by Kieth Emerson, Rick Wakeman, or Tony Banks.

Anything by Kieth Emerson, Rick Wakeman, or Tony Banks.

You can add Nicky Hopkins, Ian McLagen and Jools Holland to the list as well.

 

[Little Red Wagon Repairman]

Jon Lord

absolute magic

 

[L3ggy]

Jon Lord

Lazy is good, but this is his masterpiece.

 

[Prod3]

He's not that well known but I think Kebus tracks are great! He's a 21st Century Jarre!

 

[RJS13]

This is a difficult one since there are so many. You got the great Elton John, Geddy Lee, and countless others. But right now considering the title of the OP-Keyboard, Synth, Piano......This song has them all.

 

[Jack Davenport]

I agree with the OP and El Diablo

But here is the winner...

I would be amiss if I didn't mention it in this thread.

Leon Russell, "Jumping Jack Flash/Young Blood" -- The Concert For Bangladesh (1971) :bowdown:

For John, it all begins and ends with the Beatles. :1orglaugh

What an impact that band made on some people. It truly is a lifestyle and cult following.

^This musician. He's an excellent pianist. People forget that!




Pete Townshend, The Who

 

[Jack Davenport]

Since Phil Spector has a lot of free time in prison, he is thinking about producing a follow up entitled, Concert For Bang My Ass.

 

[John_8581]

As Elton John is here. You'll need to balance it out. Here's the other contemporary R & R HOF pianist.

Long Island's own, Billy Joel. :thumbsup: From his second album of the same name ....

 

[Rider_89]

I was just going to post some Billy as well.

 

[John_8581]

This is a song based on Billy's life. All events in his life from 1949 to 1989. It's a song that he chooses not to play in concert ....

.... Because he can't remember the exact order of how the events happened. True story!

 

[Rider_89]

He played it at the Last Play At Shea. Weird that he doesn't include it at his MSG residency where he could get it down if that's the case.
