After checking voluminous source material, Keith Emerson beats Rick Wakeman by 4¾ to 5 on the WMC > SPMS Musicians unofficial ratings scales. In other words, technically proficient players or folks who practice a lot, can actually hear the notes and clusters these guys are playing. When surveyed they preferred the Writing or adapting Music in a Creative way to the (often used) Scales & Practice Material played at high Speed approach.
But that's them. It's all personal preference so enjoy it!

but if you like Wakeman more then he wins. It's opinion, bud. And let's face it, ELP have way more lame songs than Yes, regardless.

In the world of 'it's a matter of personal opinion'.

great music. great tecnicians

Keith is better than Rick!! In that world Wakeman is better than Emerson?? Technically there is not fight!!
-
think you have these the wrong way round buddy. keith at his height was a much more technically gifted all rounder than Rick (who I admire greatly). However this is purely my opinion.
What's the track at 8:55? It's some of the greatest keyboard playing ever, obviously, but I'm unfamiliar with the song.
