When people think about instruments that have had huge effects on music, the guitar usually gets most of the glory. In all reality, I believe the keyboard has had more of an effect on music than any other instrument. Think of any band in almost any genre of music and I'll bet they use a keyboard. After thinking about this I went through my Itunes and literally almost every song I put on had a keyboard in it. Even Heavy metal songs had a large keyboard parts they were noticeable.
Along with being a large instruments for bands, keyboards compliment the voice very well, therefor they are great instrument for vocalists such as Elton John. Keyboards also have such a broad range of sounds they can create that they can be used with out even being noticed. They can be played as drums, keyboards, clarinets, and almost any other instrument you can think of. With these kind of capabilities its no wonder the keyboard is such a widely used instrument.
