I personally don't see how Roy Bittan qualifies as a member of the NLE at all, outside of the fact he was a session musician at times. So what AndyK said
I've always loved Bittan's musicianship, his playing was what inspired me to become a musician in the first place (with the help of Jim's songs [at the time]!). He's an absolutely phenomenal player, to say the least. He has a very grand, powerful style of playing I don't think I've ever heard anyone else capture. Piano thunder. If any of the nominees are to get my vote, it'll be him. Although I might be a little biased, with his influence on me and all that

Elton John would have been my next choice, for what that's worth. I particularly love his piano on "The One" (
