So, what are your favorite artists or songs that utilize any form of keyboard?

I'm pretty much referring to hard rock and heavy metal, but anything under rock or metal in general is acceptable fodder for answering

Like the intro to Black Sabbath with Dio's "Die Young"

or anything by the Doors' Raymond Daniel Manzarek

Intros seem to be incorporated the most...Deep Purple's "Perfect Strangers", Iron Butterfly's "Inna Gadda", etc...

not to mention the guitar-rivaling keyboard solos by Children of Bodom or Dream Theater

so, what's up folks?

Gary Numan, the entire Pleasure Principle album

Also, Fear Factory, Dio, Rush and do Iron Maiden's synthesized guitars on Somewhere in Time count?
