What, "Iron Man" didn't make its way to Norway or something?

20. The Monks, "Shut Up"

I think the organ part at the end of "Spirit of Eden" by Talk Talk (in the song "Wealth") is wonderful.

"fire" - the crazy world of authur brown

― mike bott, Sunday, 1 February 2004 05:02 (twenty years ago) link

Nate - that's actually a clavinet on "Trampled Under Foot". Not trying to be pedantic about it -- the whole cool thing about the song is that basically they were inspired by Stevie's "Superstition"!

I know, but isn't there a short but fierce legit organ break/solo right after Robert goes all "OOOOOOOOOOH"?

― Mark (MarkR), Saturday, 27 May 2006 05:18 (eighteen years ago) link

Roadrunner was counted twice. And I was going to put down "Abacab" by Genesis, but I think I just realized that was a synth for the first time ever. Dammit! So, uh:

Another success!

"Runaway" uses a Clavioline.

Mellow from Honkey Chateau-Elton John
Awesome organ solo on this track (actually
an electric violin but you'd never know).

― Cam McCallum, Monday, 7 February 2011 02:14 (thirteen years ago) link

How did the Sir Douglas Quintet and the famous Augie Meyers not get invited to this party? Calling in "She's About A Mover," "Dynamite Woman," "Nuevo Laredo," etc.
