... Hammond, that is. Just listening to a live version of Clapton singing Change the World and the Hammond Organ just makes it.
Whats your favourite song with this earthy instrument featuring? Another of mine is Pandoras Box by Procol Harum.
Do you have a fave rock song that features more than a lead, bass and drums?  |

That is simply exquisite - but it's a full orchestral. I was thinking more yer Rolf Harris and a stylophone type of song (bad example, I know!) |

"I think the keyboard solo on the Doors' "Light my fire" is either a Hammond or a Farfisa organ."
Mmmmmmmmm Jim Morrison half naked to the waist...

And what about Rick Wakeman, in "Yes" and all their tracks which featured him on, amongst other things, an Organ.
Superb!
Another expert exponent was Vangelis; too many tracks to list, but all round, excellent playing. |

You just did
Hold Your Head Up by Argent was another of my faves also Joy to the World - Three Dog Night.
We've only had the stylophone in one Bowie hit so far!
I wonder if anyone ever played the melodica in a rock track? |

"as frp stylophone, Jean Michelle Jarre uses one
or at least he did when i saw him live last year"
You can't really express on such a small instrument the way rockers can sink to their knees during a heavy riff. I just had a horrible mental picture of the Osmonds going 'all rock' on their song Crazy Horses. That was cringeworthy and abuse of a synthesiser! |

Just gonna add this one, good job I read down first! lol.. Actually just made me start listening to the 17:38 live version from "Mountain Live. The Road Goes Ever On". Made just one year before Felix Pappalardi was killed.
Fantastic piece of music... |

OMG!! I am with Soxi.. (not biblically!) 
This is so nostalgic for me. Stuff you don't forget but store away in the back of your mind...
Rod Argent. He lived in Chiswell green, St. Albans. That is where I met him back in the 70's just after "Hold Your Head Up"! I worked for a small Hire company and had to deliver to this house in Chiswell green... As the guy opened the door I thought I recognised him..
After chatting for a brief time, I shouted "Argent! Your Rod Argent! (Not a difficult assumption.. Argent was the name on my paperwork!) Met a few times after that on odd occasions...
Anyhoo, I digress... (Fookin memory lane! Got so far down it, gonna have to catch a bus back... ) |
