Try a 1984 Casiotone.
 
Appart from this, I agree, even the cheesy Farfisa can sound great in good hands (check The Doors)

Did I miss it, or has the Fender Rhodes really not been mentioned?

This then, together with the Hammond B3.

There are just too many, I could never make my mind up...

Hammond B3/C3 (they are the same thing, of course)
MiniMoog
Yamaha CS80
Oberheim OB8
Prophet 5
Roland Jupiter8
ARP Odyssey 
Mellotron (If it would stay in tune/not wear out tapes/not catch fire)

Of the keys I actually own/have owned, Korg Prophecy, lovely screaming lead synth, Alesis Fusion, brilliant sounding workstation if you treat it right.

Though more and more, I am leaning to Apple Mainstage, and choosing the best virtual recreations of my all time faves (It means I can pack a master keyboard and a laptop and have a rig that would have taken a truck once - I KNOW it's not really the same, but a, I could never afford the above list, and b, through the average rubbish PA nobody will tell a classic 1962 B3 from NI-B4II

Keyboards.  Ones I've personally owned:  the Yamaha Motif.  Lust for the sound of:  the venerable Mellotron.  Biggest Baddest Ass on the planet:  the Hammond B-3.  Perhaps the most influential:  the venerable Mini-Moog.
Can you tell me where we're headin'?
Lincoln County Road or Armageddon.

Hammond Organ.  Nothing more satisfying to hear or play.
Which of you to gain me, tell, will risk uncertain pains of hell?
I will not forgive you if you will not take the chance.

Not true, when my Poly 61 went bad it went really really bad. TongueLOL


LOL

I love my Poly 61, although it's half-dysfunctional. I can't get a decent Clavinet out of it to save my life, but for 80's synthpop, spacey stuff and Kraftwerk sounds...that's it!
Percussion, sir!

Actually I prefer this, the Müller Organ (1735) from the Saint-Bavochurch in Haarlem, above the ones I had listed (and I'm proud to have been able to play it, as Händel, Mozart and Mendelssohn have all played it as well). One of the largest and best sounding organs in the world.
