Hey guys, just trying to make a list of the best rock/pop songs that utilize keyboards. Here are a few to get us started. Light my Fire- The Doors ( Vox Continental combo organ and Fender Rhodes piano bass) Superstition- Stevie Wonder (Clavinet) Jump- Van Halen (Oberheim synthesizer) Born to be Wild- Steppenwolf (Hammond organ) Great Balls of Fire- Jerry Lee Lewis (Piano)

The Breeze I think "Call Me the Breeze", and "Sweet Home" licks are essential, if you're going to play out. THere's actually a couple EXCELLENT videos on Utube - the guy breaks down the Breeze very nicely - and Sweet Home is good too... Also, search Amazon.com for some Hal Leonard books, that have exact fingering - also, I have found a website called "Sheetmusicdigital" has some excellent sheet music - don't be fooled by guitar tab, either, check them out - sometimes someone has transcribed the keyboard part right in there - a great example is "Smokin'" by Boston - the tab has a great tab of the keyboard solos in there.
This really depends of the location (country, state) where you are playing, the audience, your musical technique, etc. Here are some songs that I love: Summer Time - composed by George Gershwin What a Wonderful World - played by Louis Armstrong The Entertainer In the Mood - composed by Joe Garland
