    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.

        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

          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 :)

        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.
