The Rick Wakeman Appreciation Thread

Well it just so happens that I'm listening to the Strawbs atm. And I had no idea Wakeman played on Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.

My flatmate says Wakeman is pretty funny on Never Mind the Buzzcocks but I've yet to see any eps featuring him.

I love Wakeman on Journey to the Centre of the Earth and Lisztomania. My housemates always think I am watching a movie when I have his stuff on. Such a good story teller.

Wakeman's a far better story teller than he is a keyboard player...

Well, his storytelling skills could be godly

I like Rick! Skill and schlong-size comparisons aside, he's a legend and certainly a colourful figure in rock history. Music needs a few cheesemongers

To add some more trivia to the goings on, he also played piano for Cat Stevens, for example on Morning has Broken.
