Voted "Parallels" though every time I heard Yes play this in concert I never heard Wakeman or the organ cuz I was so overwhelmed by Steve Howe: The whole song was like one continuous solo for him--played on a speed of overdrive and a volume of Eleven!

Didn't know Rachel was already that famous.
Talking about music for Dario Argento's films I just happened to find an amazing version of a Bach's composition played by Keith Emerson: Prelude 24 (from well tempered clavier), off the album La Chiesa, I would quite easily vote for it on the 'Other' option, even if it is not originally composed by Emerson:
Yep that's nice. love the weird percussion which suits it well

^^^Yeah, Rachel's become well-known among proggers. I had a friend who was there when she was getting into the prog stuff. She's amazing. Just line up a bunch of her YT vids and have a ball! I think she's going to release some original material, too.

^Yeahh just impressive!
In other sort of things, just found an impressive organ playing performances that would be worth mentioning to share, mainly when it comes to women not just singing , I think we should give some credits for this incredible blind woman:

Voted for "Other," which in this case is Wakeman's organ work on Yes, "Awaken" (GFTO). "Parallels" would be the close second for me. It just means that Wakeman's organ work on Going For the One (GFTO) is quite the pinnacle. In that same year, he put out his solo Rick Wakeman's Criminal Record, using the same Swiss church organ he used for the GFTO tracks. That was a stellar point in time in Wakeman's phenomenal career...

For what I've just been reading, Cherry Five should be mentioned here as well, am I right? Looking forward to knowing this band too, as I'm a huge fan of organ driven music.

From this list I have to say Emerson's The Church reigns supreme. I would have picked the Three Fates if it had been a choice as it is the Cohbas, the Montecristo of Prog organ tunes.
3 Fates is excellent and one of my favorites....but then I love the first lp by them....probably my favorite by ELP.
I've been very excited with the music of ELP by the way, just for the record, and every time I listen to The Three Fates I turn out enjoying even more the piano session melody - right on!, this song is stunning too.
However for the purposes of this poll I really regret for not including The Only Way (Hymn), I like a lot the pipe organ playing in this song, and awesome also the entire music! I think that maybe not many PA Forum members really love this piece, unfortunately...

Billy Ritchie for many things; but listen to the organ playing in "Cold Sweat" for sheer power......none of the other players mentioned could be anywhere close dynamically....
May not have been made that clear but the poll is not about Hammond Organ but rather the old traditional Pipe Organ

^I think people wouldn't be disappointed if they gave another chances to the less known artists here - Par Lindh Project is the last BIG GEM I happened to know and soon turned out to be one of my BIG favourites! I would have voted in them as well.
