You know what? Even though I like The Doors, I was never really impressed with the sound of Ray Manzarek's organ. tA Tribal Disorder

Do Farfisas and Moogs count? Or isn't that what you're looking for? | |

Do Farfisas and Moogs count? Or isn't that what you're looking for? The Vox or Farfisa organs both qualify. The Moog doesn't as it's a synthesizer. tA Tribal Disorder

My first thought was "Green Onions".  Then, "A White Shade of Pale", and then a bunch of Doors songs.
Magic Carpet Ride - Steppenwolf Speed King, Child in Time - Deep Purple Your Time Is Gonna Come - Led Zeppelin and countless Pulp songs. "I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |
