Alright, to tell you the truth I didn't know of most of their histories so I quickly looked them up and I found out something bizarre; none of them went to the Juilliard School of Music at nine years old and were identified as a prodigy! But yeah, if someone did that and had professional classical training at that age, they'd have to be like a God at the keys or something. I wonder if Rudess fits that bill...

Oh btw I love how you said "anyone who has played with Yes."

lol. Right so if you play with Yes that automatically makes you better than an elite prodigy. I know you were joking but whatever.

The only non-lols are Emerson and Wakeman. Both are extremely skilled, obviously, but.....
lol. Sorry but come on!! Rudess could ****ing play in a ****in piano ****ing concerto if he wanted to. In fact that was what he was initially set out to do! Well I know Wakeman's a classically trained pianist but he'd be totally lost in a concerto.
