Does anyone know of any rock bands with keyboards in them, preferably christian but doesnt matter?

A lot of gospel chior songs have great keyboard pieces, including Kirk Franklin and Mark Condon.

As far as rock keyboardists go, Keith Emerson from Emerson, Lake and Palmer(also known as ELP) is one of the greatest progressive keyboardists ever. There's pleanty more, but that's my favorite(and I can't remember the others)

Billy Joel and Fats Domino are pop rock keyboardists, part of musical history. You'd want to check them out too.

For a christian band with keyboards it was always hard to beat DeGarmo and Key from the 80's. Eddie DeGarmo was a great player and Dana Key could play a mean guitar to go along with it. They were one of my favorite 80's christian bands. And right up front with the message too. Good lyrics. Also, Petra always used Keyboards. I haven't listened to their newest album yet, but their older ones incorporated John Lawry on keyboards. Pretty decent. Plus, both Eddie and John had solo albums as well. I'm sure there's a ton of other bands out there that use them but I can't think of any right now. I'm sure you'll get plenty of other reccomendations for new bands.

The Newsboys

Third Day (especially the album Time)

Skillet

Delirious (particularlly the album Mezzamorphis)

Caedmon's Call (not really rock, per se, but some incredible keyboard playing)

Jars Of Clay

Ummm... honestly, it's kind of harder to think of bands that DON'T have keyboards than to think of ones that DO. Could you be a little more specific regarding what exactly you're looking for?? Is there any particular style of rock you are interested in?? Any particular keyboard sound (B-3, Rhodes, Wurly, piano?) you're looking for?
