ROFLMAO You know that tapes of her monitor mix used to go for 50 quid at the AES show in Frankfurt. Anyone seen one on the net? I could use a larf.

Vince Clark over Alan Wilder???? Surely, you have not heard Recoil or hold Erasure over DM's Black celebration and MFTM.
It's not meant to be in order, necessarily, although Clarke does get more points for his contributions to Depeche Mode, Yaz, and Erasure.

But he only did one album for DM. And is was lame. Alan Wilder did 6 albums for DM (7 if you count the new tracks on Catching up with DM). And his work formed their sound.

Ok, OK, but my list wasn't necessarily in order.
And consider that Mira Aroyo's inclusion is due to her hotness factor. :p

A hottest keyboardist thread... I like it.
Well, we have mine, yours, and Blue Eyed Boy's sorted out already...
Miles Davis Orlando Bloomin' Onion Paul Schaffer and the CBS Orchestra Mitch Hedgwig C. Thomas Howelbeqwerty
Rick Wakeman
Ray Manzarek - beast at keys, especially that he has to do the bass lines with one hand.
- John 'Rabbit' Bundrick (the who)
- Mick Talbot (Merton Parkas & the style Council)
- Gillian Gilbert (NO)
- Reginald Dixon (Blackpool Winter gardens)
- the strange guy out of sparks who lookis like Hitler

He did?
I thought he used one keyboard for the bassline and the other for normal keyboard playing. 
Time to wikipedia this.

Whoever played 'em for The Pandoras....
Jeff Connolly......of The Lyres
Jarboe for Swans as well.
My votes would include:
Ralf Hutter/Florian Schneider - Kraftwerk Phill & Paul Hartnoll - Orbital Our own Gillian Gilbert - New Order Jean Michel Jarre Vince Clarke - Liked his Depeche Mode/Yazoo work although not really a fan of Erasure
Cheers!

Fletch? I wouldn't really consider him a keyboard player. He seemed to make a career out of clapping his hands.
Andrés wrote: maybe he learned it from Alan Wilder
Alan Wilder never clapped his hands on stage.
Nobody mentionning Chuck Level (Rolling Stones' usual keyboardist)? Just watched a live RS DVD today. The man's god damn good.

Now that I think about it, those bands are on the Future Retro CD.
