Clap absolutely! And his solo on the studio track of The Hangman And The Papist, while not as technical, is pretty good too.

I always liked Ray Manzarek's solo in Light My Fire. I don't know technical it was to play but it's pretty cool. Oops, Manzarek didn't play a Hammond, just a Vox Continental.

Rick Wakeman considers that to be the best organ solo on record. It's hard to disagree with that. I think maybe he likes it because it's so complicated. I doubt Wakeman himself could play it very easily.

 
that's why I chuckle when some people say that Argent wasn't good enough to join Yes when he was being considered after Tony Kaye's departure.

What are some of your favorite prog-based Hammond Organ performances?

A non-prog performance really worth mentioning is Garth Hudson's solo on the Band's "Chest Fever". 
I'm pretty sure that Garth Hudson used a Lowrey Festival organ on "Chest Fever". Not a Hammond.

Yes, Jon Lord's solo in Space Truckin is out of this world. I also like the intro to Lazy. 

Love the Hammond in Space Truckin', but also in Lazy. Actually, you could say Made in Japan is the single best Hammond album...

I like a lot of the organ on foxtrot and selling england. I can't really think of a whole lot more at the moment. There's some good playing on that Affinity album too. Look I just woke up Psychedelic Paul. LOL
