2. Rhodes and Clavinet are my two favorite keyboard sounds

I'll listen to pretty much anything that uses either one

As an aside, the piano line on Soul Kitchen doesn't sound like a Fender Rhodes to my ear, sounds more like some kind of organ

Riders on the Storm, otoh sounds exactly what I expect a 73-key Rhodes to sound like

I could be totally wrong what's actually played in both cases but I don't *think* so.
