Actually, might as well flounce.
No-one has mentioned the Stranglers yet. For shame.

From the same period the Hammond on the Jam's Town Called Malice is difficult to beat - actually kept the Stranglers' Golden Brown off the top spot in the charts, though that was unusually for them a harpsichord and piano dominated piece (in 13/4 time no less - or 3 bars of 3/4 and one bar of 4/4 repeated throughout).

Jimmy Smith is my personal fav, with the album 'The Cat' being a great place to start:
Great liner note about The Cat ' - "equally at home in the penthouse or in the alley..." < really sums up the music too...
Lalo Shifrin's big band arrangements make this record dynamite.
A taster:

I think Jackie Mittoo takes the crown for best Jamaican Hammond
this blood and fire release is all you need
I have a soft spot for The Doors myself (Strange Days especially), and Ray Manzarek on the organ (plus other keys) adds a lot:
... Inspiral Carpets were an organ heavy act (but I dont think it was a Hammond, but a Farfisa fact-fans!)

was just listening to some Meters today and never realised how organ led their classic cuts are, though again, looking at this picture it looks like its a Farfisa, not a Hammond:

This page http://www.hammondjazz.net/index.php?page=music is handy in that it claims to offer random music samples from The Hammond Jazz Inventory
... threw up Medeski Scofield Martin & Wood for me, who are well worth checking outMeltingpot

I'd go with the Small Faces' "Tin Soldier" too (Ian MacLagan's a great player), also the Spencer Davis Group's "Gimme Some Loving."

Manfred Mann played a mean organ in the 60's too, especially on "Ha Ha Said The Clown" (like that track a lot). I think it was a Hammond but I can't be sure.
