I saw them do it on TV with a Yamaha CS80, but they were probably lip-synching (or whatever you call it when you pretend to play the organ).

Centerfold wasn't Hammond....it was a Prophet 5 (doing a "Hammond" sound).

Since we have maligned pop music (and managed to display a little homophobia in the process: amazing how polishing one's buttons leads them to "Closet Dancing Queen", but that one is better left to professionals), I'd like to point out that Hammond organ played no part in any of those songs mentioned. How 'bout that!!! That's quite a feat!
But in the spirit of things, how about naming the worst Hammond songs ever. I know this is blasphemous, but I'm sure we all have some organ cds that have a cut that just gets "skipped" whenever it comes on.
I'll start it off if I have to: "Groovin" by Booker T.
