Hey man, let's take some poorly written beat poetry and put it over mediocre guitar compositions. Then we can take a talented keyboardist but make him play the shittiest sounding electric organ. And we can make sure the recording makes it all sound like a cat and some tin cans in a dryer.

I'm partial to talented keyboardists playing shitty sounding electric organs myself. Shoutout to Deep Purple.

There are far too few shitty sounding electric organs in modern music.

check out "sticky hulks" by the oh-sees for a modern approach

or the song enrique el-cobrador for a more old school doors type organ :)

Didn't Jon Lord use a Hammond organ? One of the best sounding instruments ever.

Yes but after amp and distortion it sounds like a cyber cabaret church and I love it. He also used an electric harpsichord for some songs, another awesome sounding instrument

A hammond tearing through a Marshall stack is a statement.

Pinhead anon has no talent.

Absolutely, one of the best organ grooves in my opinion came from Jon Lord's Hammond C3 organ on "Lazy", specifically from the album Made in Japan. Boomer gold!

I recommend his solo* stuff. There's a concert on Youtube I often go back to.

*Not really solo cause there's an orchestra, sometimes singers and guests, but you know what I mean.

the organ is what makes it good for me :'(

I guess that's literally what she said.
