Absolutely love The Doors. I'm the biggest Doors fan ever I think. Best song? I can't say one song is their best because all of them are so great.

But ya, L.A. Woman is kick ass. You can argue it's the best because it sort of encapsulates the band from the beginning to the end (not the song the end).

How about best album? Morrison Hotel from start to finish is so fucking great. There are songs the casual Doors fans don't even know about, but we hardcore fans love them : Maggie McGill, Land Ho, Peace Frog, Ship of Fools. Man so awesome.

Interesting thing about Roadhouse Blues. I played a version on youtube that may be a new edition. It's super bluesy vs the original. I did not like it at first but now it's growing on me.

What do you think : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldW8jtV2jG0 You hear the super enhanced harmonica like 5 sec in. And at the end they amped up Jim's voice or added some of his voice.


I know they've tried to change the songs up but I wish they'd leave them alone. I don't like the newer rendition of BREAK ON THROUGH where Jim says 'SHE GETS HIGH' instead of 'SHE GETS'. Just ruins the song for me. Maybe it was Ray since he was the ultimate salesman for years but he's gone now so not sure who's in charge. Was it Robbie or Densmore that sort of went their own way?

Now one album ONLY REAL DOORS fans will know : The Soft Parade. Man what a fucking trip that whole album is. Youtube use to have a live rendition of the song THE SOFT PARADE that was performed live on YOUR VERY OWN WTTW CHANNEL 11! I can't find it anymore. I guess it's gone.

Ok I found it somewhere else : http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xqojd

No I never have but if I did or even have a thought I won't because I know that you know that I know that you know that I know you know the DOORS ARE THE FUCKING GREATEST BAND EVER!

And we dont give a shit what any others say!

Touch Me

Whenever I think of The Doors, I picture the scene in Neighbors where Vic removes the label from the pasta sauce while Hello, I Love You plays in the background.

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

Remember how Jim use to do that guttural yell. Like it was coming from some ancestral hominid roaming the wilderness.

Listen here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kE32pvvaDT8

Peace Frog. If anyone posted otherwise you’re an asshole.

HAHAHA THAT'S FUCKING AWESOME!

You know one thing (of many) that's so great about that song. How Robby plays the guitar like the guitar is singing the lyrics. Right after Jim sings the lyrics, Robby plays it like the guitar is another individual singing the lyric.

Nice! I knew you was cool.

You guys remember the movie that came out in the 80s or 90s? With Val Kilmer. Man was I pissed. I understand it was good to expose the Doors music to another generation, but I was like WTF man. I was a original Doors fan, and now we got these bandwagon mofo's thinking they know the shit about The Doors.

I even got pissed off at INXS, a band I like now but hated back in the day because their lead singer Ripped off all of Jim's moves.

That's how much a fan I was and still am of this band.

best album cover, too



That witch chick or whatever she was was a dish, though.

Squirell , you motherfuc*er! You sure you and me not the same guy? We use to eat at the same places, listen to the same music, go to the same ballgames in the same day month and year, and fuck the same women. The last part about fucking the same women I made up but you get my drift

Yup!

The guy who is usually wrong on music finally nails one.

Really, all 6 of albums they recorded from '67-'71 are awesome. Such an explosion of creativity.

I agree that the music is something that might be played as background music during cocktails at a wedding, but I'd say the lyrics make the song. It's really menacing if you listen. Especially when you consider it in the context of its time not long after the Manson murders.

What is your mood? Doors have a song for you. I am shocked no one has included 5 to 1 yet. Gets your blood up.

Check out the version live at Aquarius theater. Not always a fan of live cuts but this is good.
There are other great tunes already listed. This one is in the top 5 for me.

Thanks Golden Jet on the assist link below...

All great responses. It’s still LA Woman though.
