Franz Liszt was the best piano player ever, J.S. Bach the greatest organist ever, but as far as keyboards for rock music, I agree Rick Wakeman gets my vote, Keith Emerson is right up there as well.
When I took my first piano lessons, the teacher put out Chopin's music sheet......I played Liszt:ha:
I was reading his biography and his exploits with the "Groupies" were legendary and he was treated like a Rock Star, the very first one.
I love Chopin as well, but I feel that Liszt doesn't get enough credit for his contributions musically, he also designed and built one of the first concert halls specifically to enhance the music experience for the fans.
Franz Liszt was not only a virtuoso on the piano but with the ladies of the various courts he played recitals at when he was a young man.

Back on topic now,,,I am going to show Stevie Wonder some love, maybe not a virtuoso like some others listed here, but considering he is blind his playing skills deserve to to be mentioned.
