Roy Bittan is an awesome pianist and technically brilliant. His work on the BAT album was fantastic. Ofcourse he has a long and illustrious career in music especially with the E Street Band.
Tom Brislin was technically remarkable and the classical training shows but I never thought him as a real showman.
Mark Alexander has the showman skills to make live come Alive! He's classically trained so he's got what gives like the others. I like his style but find his cheats to get the part delivered funny.
Having said all of that, whilst i've never seen then together live, the partnership was always Steinman and Meat Loaf and the early days before everything erupted it was them on stages everywhere. I have to go with Steinman therefore (and he's a very talented pianist in his own right too).
