Anybody in love with the old school synths and organs?

Question

What song has you favorite keyboard sound
mine:
Lazy-Deep Purple
very cool

Answer 1

Yes, I do. The problem for me, with today's synths is that they try to create the sound of other instruments too much but back when, they were very cosmic sounding and really didn't sound like anything else. In fact, many older and newer bands are going back and sampling the older synths because you can't get those sounds anymore. As far as one favorite, it would be impossible to pick. However, for an example, listen to the old Moog sound (as well as Mellotron) on Every Good Boy Deserves Favor by The Moody Blues as well as albums like Todd Rundgren's Utopia and I haven't even brought up albums by King Crimson, Traffic, Yes, Pink Floyd and so on.

Answer 2

The Rain Song Song-Led Zeppelin
Burn-Deep Purple
Abacab-Genisis
Riders On The Storm-The Doors
Touch And Go-E.L.P.
Tramontane-Foreigner
The Psychadelic Warlords-Hawkwind
Eyes Without A Face-Billy Idol
Fight Fire With Fire-Kansas
Tuesday's Gone-Lynyrd Skynyrd
Stealin-Uriah Heep
Just About any 70's Pink Floyd Song
Are Just A Few Of My Fave Keyboard Tracks

Answer 3

yes and even mellotrons!

I like the JP Jones solo in No Quarter he never gets the props he deserves

All the old ELP stuff, the heavy organ sounds Emerson play especially on the 1st album are awesome; then there's the cool sounds on In the Beginning solo

Nick Mason's cool keys in Floyd are unique and help hold the songs together on albums like Dark Side - gotta love the extended solos "Here today gone tomorrow, that's what I always say"

I like the synth sounds on Relayer by Moraz like Gates of Delirium

Answer 4

Hammond B-3, my favorite. I love it, with the spinning Leslie inside it, giving it that distinctive sound.

Jon Lord plays a Hammond in "Lazy". Great tune.

There are too many songs to name with the Hammond that I love, but I'll tell you, the opening riff by Dennis De Young of Styx on " Blue Collar Man" rocks.

Answer 5

Duh, I'm a Floyd fan aint I?
Richard Wright is just so magical, I loved the early Floyd mainly because his organ playing was so dominate. Like in Saucerful of Secrets (Live in Pompeii version)? Just breathtaking.
