(Again: my arbitrary definition: any British band from the Beatles era, 1964-1970.)

No need for an arbitrary definition -- the British Invasion ended with Hendrix's emergence. It goes from 64-67. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Invasion

I lived through it, so I can validate that. By '67 the novelty was worn off that the influence was flowing the other direction again, as evidenced by Jimi's emergence.

I don't associate Pink Floyd with the British Invasion, even though they were around in that time -- mostly because they didn't really have much impact over here until after Hendrix. But I have no objection to including Richard Wright in the debate if you guys want.

But the best keyboardist IMO of the British invasion --

Alan Price of the Animals.

I'll take Alan's drama and melodic construction over Argent's noodling any time.

Runner up -- Stevie Winwood.

And if Wright can be included, then I can add Matthew Fisher of Procol Harum.

So:

1. Alan Price
2. Stevie Winwood
3. Matthew Fisher

Honorable Mention -- Mike Pinder of Moody Blues

Alan would be my pick, but Argent is too good to pass up
