I was in the car the other day (used so frivilously that my wife's face turns red in anger when I use it) with Taylor when my ipod semi-randomly played Al Green's 'Love and Happiness'. We talked about how great of a song it was, and I said that it was the most effective use of an organ in a song. After that point I started taking notice of songs with organs in them, and have to say that it's almost automatic that I'll like a song given a good organ in the background.
Al Green - Love and Happiness
Iron Butterfly - In-a-gadda-da-vidda
Cranberries - No Need to Argue
John Mayer - Gravity
Spencer Davis Group - I'm a man
That's my short list of songs that effectively use organs.
