I totally agree with these two. Great organ drenched prog.
 
Another couple I would like to mention:
 

REFUGEE — Refugee

and...

MAINHORSE — Mainhorse

Two great Patrick Moraz albums
Best of 2006 that I've heard:
PFM-Stati Di Immaginazione
Zenit-Surrender (Best "unknown" album)
Oaksenham - Conquest of Pacific
2007:
Phideaux - Doomsday Afternoon
La Torre Del Alchimista - Neo

Being too lazy to read all the posts, I thought I'd butt in & make sure that Machine Head was included as THE organ driven album. Put it through a Marshall, will ya ! And  Lord he said - "let there be fuzz"

Yes, the same organ he used to record GFTO with Yes (same time-period:  1977).  So, both Wakeman's "Criminal Record" and Yes, GFTO, should be added to the list...

Jimmy Row: excellent list, very varied and comprehensive Clap 
 
Personally I would like to add:
 
Julian's Treatment - Waiters On The Dance
Hardin & York - Live In The 70's
The Spencer Davis Group - Live In Europe
Vanilla Fudge - Near The Beginning
Uriah Heep - Live
Atlantis Philharmonic - Same
Fuzzy Duck - Same
Greenslade - Live 1975
Hansson & Karlson - Same (CD compilation of their three albums)
 
Verslibre, in November and December I have a 24 days vacation, I will have floods of time to make that promised Hammond organ special, including quotes by known progrock musicians I have interviewed during the years and many interesting facts, I am looking forward to publish it.

Indeed Jimmy Row, it was Ozzy Tom his Hammond Organ Album Top 100 list Embarrassed
 
About that Hammond organ special, at this moment I am collecting material like pictures I made at the home of a Hammond organ collector (including the mighty B3) and at a festival in Arnhem with Focus, a few years ago. Thanks to Verslibre and this thread for the inspiration to start preparing that Hammond organ Special Thumbs%20Up

how about Men of Lake's first 2 albums - "Riva" and "Out of the Water"?   Very old style hammond sound.  Their followup "Music from the Land of..." was more diverse and less organ dependent.

Tarkus and Deep Purple's "Made in Japan" are probably my favourites.

And you get the big thumbs-up from meWink.... though I would spare a mention for "In Rock" as well.Clap

Another great organ-driven album is Atomic Rooster's "Death Walks Behind You".... Lots of great organ-driven stuff in the Heavy Prog section!
