I've mentioned this on several occasions but Rock achieved perfection during the organ solo of 'Trampled Underfoot'.

Chest Fever is way up there. But people, have we forgotten about Road Runner by The Modern Lovers ? and Deep Purple probably has at leat 4 or 5 slots in the top 20.

There's definitely some slots for Deep Purple in this ....another one that might be way off the screen is "Right Now For You" from Al Kooper's I Stand Alone album.

that song has held up over time more than 99% of the music I own. The bassline is also one of my all-time favorites.


and shiv good call on the Deadly Snakes. I just threw on I'm Not Your Soldier Anymore yesterday and was lovin it. This wa after I watched that goddawful Big Bounce movie on HBO last night and heard a song from Ode To Joy over the closing credits. Folowing that fucking Jet song, no less. Hey i hope they at least got a nice paycheck out of it.

oh shit and how could I forget the Replacements' "Date to Church"

Lots and lots of great mentions in this thread, but allow me to throw some love in the general direction of The Sir Douglas Quintet...masters of the FARFISA!!!

Pretty damn close. It's definitely Zep's finest moment.

nah, it's still Ten Years Gone

Whiter Shade of Pale. The organ makes the song and the song is one of my top 5 favorites of all-time.

this song just popped up on the ipod and SWEET BABY DISCO FUCKING JESUS this is a great song. I love that I almost never listen to this album but once a year I pull that shit out like it's goddamn pumpkin pie or something.

Did I miss it or did you retards let this thread go this for without mention of Like a Rolling Stone?

Um... No love for

Ike Turner & The Kings of Rhythm - Getting Nasty

Yet? I mean, jay-sus. Up there with "The Happy Organ" by Dave "Baby" Cortez and "Funky Me" by Timmy Thomas in my book....

Cotton's bored so ... he's practising his necromancy skills?

On topic: I dig the solos in "House of the Rising Sun" and, believe it or not, REO Speedwagon's "Roll With the Changes"; Styx, "Blue Collar Man" has a great organ-based riff; but two of my favourites are Deep Purple's "Lazy" and Rick Wakeman on Yes' "Heart of the Sunrise" (especially the intros).

No organ thread should go without mentioning The Motherfucking Phantom Danny Federici

Badlands
Kitty's Back

also, my friend trey from The Forty-Fives plays a mean organ

I was always partial to The Swingin' Medallions - Double Shot (of my Baby's Love)

oh and The Castaways - Liar Liar (love that damn song)

organs are the new guitar

Fucking awesome. But an R&B organ allowance would trample this thread. I mean, people are talking about the Charlatans, for crissakes.

This is more like Special Olympics.

That organ part in Crowded House's "Don't Dream It's Over" is pretty sweet, but it's really just an homage to Procol Harum, isn't it?

I am gonna just throw "Megalomaniac" - Muse in there for good measure. It's bombast makes it truly wonderful.

seriously, i was gonna say citizen erased has some sick over-the-top organ parts.

Don't check Obner much anymore; this is a great thread. Y'all are talking music these days?

Good choices all...

Tony Banks, Genesis, Supper's Ready

hi harry

I also really dig Chris Cameron's organ work on sonia dada's lay down and love it live album.

He's a ninja.
