Pity no one has voted for Three Monks. Both their albums are worth checking out although probably its hard to pick one stand out piece. I would go for this although nothing wrong with the poll selection

I think a lot of people haven't heard them. This was one tough poll in spite of a handful of choices. My cursor was hovered over "Parallels" for a bit because the organ (and Squire's great bassline) make the song for me.

I'm quite sure Hugh Banton's works must be very interesting and worth checking out. I had not heard of him until reading your reply, so I googled for some YouTube videos but unfortunately could find only the refered J.S.Bach's Goldberg Variations performed by Glenn Gould. To be honest I know quite very little of Bach's, including these refered compositions. And I would like to know your impressions about Hugh Banton's last work: The Planets By Gustav Holst (2007), thanks in advance.

I agreee very much with you, although I know almost nothing of Three Monks, only Profondo Gotico and Toccata Neogotica 7, and now damn impressed with Progressive Magdeburg, just incredible how this band can manage to elevate the church organ strenght to its most! 
But after reading your review of "The Legend Of The Holy Circle", I'm thinking about putting first this album in my purchasing list.

^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.

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 OrganWink

Le Orme, Collage.

When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

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...

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.

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...

In total agreement with this statement.

Not really been mentioned but when Emerson scored the music for Argento's horror film Inferno he did adopt something of an 'RPI approach' on this.

^^^Oh, yes, that's a brilliant score. The remaster is an owner.
