| I'd love to contribute, after all, I'd like to hear other people's opinions so that I can expand my Hammond collection. In all honesty there's no way I could pick 10 songs - I'd have trouble narrowing down to 30 or 40 albums. |

I don't know too much about the Hammond organ (I'm more familiar with the Hammond-Hammond), but I'll take a stab.
Deep Purple's Burn, uh, Minstrel in the Gallery? Of course, anything by Procol Harum. ------------- "There seem to be quite a large percentage of young American boys out there tonight. A long way from home, eh? Well so are we... Gotta stick together." -I. Anderson |
