Every Electronic Organ Player knows Tico Tico by Ethel Smith, and this is one of the reasons it is so popular on the Concert scene, unfortunately it was used in the 80s by organists to see how fast they could play, and thus outdo other organists, however fortunately it is now back where it belongs, A Classic. Apart from Ethel Smith, it would either be the version by Klaus Wunderlich on the Wersi Helios or Max Takano on the Yamaha HX1 that would get my vote. Isn’t music wonderful?

Diki, Chas and others get it. Perhaps some of the popular rythems seem repetitive, but the changes are often complex. Plus, the whole experience often involves interplay between players.
Boring after 10 minutes? Never to me, but if it "ain't your thing" I can see it.
Good, well-thought out posts, folks, this could have turned into a real "bashing" session, but it didn't. And, that's GOOD!
And, Donnie, one of the top historic B-3 tunes from Jimmy Smith and others was "Chicken Shack". I don't have to tell you what appropriater apparel would work if you incorporated that into your act!

Not me. I love to listen to modern music and I'm a grandpa several times over already. I like a lot of different flavors, including but definitely not limited to jazz. Good blues, good modern rock, even a well done ( and clean ) hip hop song, electronica, experimental genres... etc.
I like many of the B3 players mentioned, along with some that haven't been, but I guess my favorites growing up were Keith Emerson and Rick Wakeman, and even though I don't think of him as being quite at the same technical level, Rick Wright, because he played "tasty" . As I was typing that, "Tasty", an old Good Rats tune, kept playing in my head.... you might remember them, especially if you ever "clubbed" in Long Island or the suburbs of NYC in the 70s or later.
