Is there a cooler sound in music than the loud, operatic wail of the organ? I highly doubt it. From pro-rock extravaganzas to three-chord garage rock, from Hammonds to Farfisas, they're right up there with the piano and guitar as the most versatile instruments out there.
As a fan of the organ, I have compiled this tape filled with some of my favorite organ lines. By no means is this an all-time best-of, but it makes for a killer listen anyways.

| 1 | Wolfmother : Mind's Eye |
|
The highlight here is Chris Ross' five-alarm, call-to-arms organ solo. It recalls the best parts of prog while simultaneous kicking major ass.

| 2 | ? and the Mysterians : 96 Tears |
|
A garage rock classic, featuring the most copied organ line in all of rock. Also, the easiest (you can play it with two fingers). Plus, you can't beat that cheap-ass, garage-y Farfisa sound.

| 4 | Emerson, Lake and Palmer : Knife Edge |
|
Speaking of Keith Emerson... He happenes to be one of the greats, and the mad funks riffs he can coax out of his organ demonstarte that with ease. The chorus of this must be heard to be believed.

| 5 | Kansas : Belexes |
|
This galloping "boogie-prog" tune has a great deedle-dee-dee riff, courtesy of Steve Walsh, that's really catchy. The instruments in the song interlock really well. The song is the aural equivalent of a car racing down the highway.

This syruppy-slow, bluesy 60s rocker from England features, appropriatly enough, a bluesy wailing organ.

| 7 | Yes : Roundabout |
|
Rick Wakeman is, quite litterally, a keyboard wizrd. His funky-as-hell-for-a-prog-song solo his, in turn, nicely complimented by Steve Howe's guitar acrobatics and Chris Squire's ten-ton bass.

| 8 | The Moog Cookbook : Born to be Wild |

Steppenwolf performed exclusivlet on vintage Moog synths. It gets it's place on here for the sheer operatic grandeur of the organ part during the chorus.

| 9 | Rush : Roll the Bones |

The organ here isn't prevalent, but it is used for great effect before each chorus and during Alex Lifeson's solo. Please ignore Geddy Lee's embarassing baritone rap.

Nice mix, but I feel it needs some Arcade Fire. :)

If you like Store Bought Bones, you should check out the Zane Rendition (?) of it (I think they sell it on iTunes). The organ is higher in the mix and the song is set to a John Lee Hooker-esque groove.

I am a fan of the theme but not really of the tracks. A+ for a rad concept, though! (I am more of a fan of operatic organs in metal and hardcore than in classic rock)

For Question Mark, Yes, and Bob Dylan I give you +5. Because those combined I love that much.
