Thought of starting a new thread where we can share our favorite B3 songs and maybe discover some awesome new settings.
Right now I'm listening to the Counting Crows' August and Everything After. Really impressed with the B3 work, very subtle and effective without being "in your face" - just how a B3 should be IMHO.
Here are some of my B3 picks:
Bob Seger - Against the Wind
Boston - Foreplay/Long Time and Smokin'
Tom Petty - Refugee
Notting Hillbillies - Your own sweet way
Jackson Browne - Barricades of Heaven
Brooks & Dunn - Believe
Tracy Chapman - Telling Stories
Sugarland - Stay
Go on add yours!
Great B3 recordings

Re: Great B3 recordings
My picks are players rather than songs:
Rod Argent - Anything played by him on a hammond -
Jon Lord - The scandinavian nights album is great -
Dave Greenslade - Colosseum is the right place to start loving the hammond sound -
Jean-Jacques Kravetz - A very underrated talent -
And many many others!!

Re: Great B3 recordings
I listen to "Get Organ-ized" by Boston at least once a day. It's on the Walk On album.

Re: Great B3 recordings
Basically the most Organ songs I listen to are all ELP things, and the albums Chronometree (one of my favorite albums) and If (although not so much) by Glass Hammer.
And of course there are the already mentioned things such as Rick Wakeman and Jon Lord (I saw him live with Deep Purple a few years ago)

Re: Great B3 recordings
Extremely late post but just wanted to say - absolutely love Counting Crows and their B3 always sounds so awesome. I've always wanted to replicate the snarling overdriven harmonic-feedback kinda sounds at the start of the live versions of songs like Children In Bloom and Round Here. Here are my two favourite performances:shark wrote:Thought of starting a new thread where we can share our favorite B3 songs and maybe discover some awesome new settings.
