Your favourite Doors album?

[kiwifruit]

The Doors
Strange Days
Waiting for the Sun
The Soft Parade
Morrison Hotel
L.A. Woman
Other, do tell

I've always been a fan. Have recently acquired some 30 plus albums of theirs and am working my way through them, very interesting. Currently stuck on Morrison hotel and strange days, i can't seem to get sick of them!

We're you lucky enough to be alive when they were around? I'd be interested to hear your opinion of them / Jim.

I've always been a huge fan. In my youth I had a few albums but now I only have one greatest hits type CD.
The Doors rock!:rockon:

[Trudes]

Hard to pick just one, but I'm going to go The Soft Parade, mainly because I really love that song, often just listen to it over and over again when I'm in a "special" kind of mood.

[Matt Bleck]

People are stranger when you're a stranger......

Someone sing to me so I can recognise a tune!

You men eat your dinner, eat your pork and beans...I eat more chicken any man ever seen....cos Im a BACKDOOR MAN!

I prefer the Echo and the Bunnymen version myself.....I'm afraid to say I'm another who has never actually listened to a doors album other than a greatest hits job...

[skelstar]

Not real famil with all the albums, but I think L.A. Woman rocks. I *love* Riders Of The Storm...the thunder/rain backdrop is just awesome.

[Mekk]

Oops, I chose Waiting for the Sun but meant The Doors.

Waiting for the sun is my favourite song, but I enjoy more songs from The Doors than Morrison Hotel.

[EJT]

LA woman. Love "Cars Hiss by My Window". Very bluesy side. Of course LA woman itself is a Doors classic.

[Mr Merde]

Got a copy of a live concert at home that I listen to very frequently.

Yes I was around in the years before Jim died.

Been to his grave in France to pay homage.

The Doors were the best as far as I was concerned.

Always regret never having the opportunity of seeing them in concert.


"Who do you Love?"

L A Woman.
JM, RIP

Granted they had some cool tunes...i will listen to about 4 of them. Never rated them really but Anne loves them, she also loves the Buzzcocks and the the B52s so go figure....:rockon:

Its my wife Anne (Mom) thats into the Buzzy's...right little raver she is...:Punk:

Were you lucky enough to be alive when they were around? I'd be interested to hear your opinion of them / Jim.

When one reaches the lofty age of 492, where one's Archetypal Libido(TM) is set at "intermittent" rather than the "11" of one's youth, one may remember bands like The Doors and their peculiar trademark electric piano solo. Or was that the wail of a cat whose tail has just been crushed by my rocking chair?

[snot]

I saw The Doors movie recently, excellent watch and gives a whole new meaning to some of Jim's lyrics!!
Riders of the storm, and break on through are definately my #1's. Burnt a copy of the dvd too if anyone here in vegas wants a watch..

[Mom]

People are stranger when you're a stranger......

One of my favs too, sadly my Doors collection on vinyl was a casualty of my divorce...:crybaby:



"Who do you Love?"

That too!


"well you tried it just for once found it all right for kicks.
but now you found out that it's a habit that sticks. And you're an Orgasm Addict!"

Now that ranks as my all time favourite Buzzcocks number :Punk: Shes a Mod!!! :Punk: 9 to 5er, Social Climber!! :Punk:

I think it was Oliver Stone that did a documentarty on the life of Jim Morrison, now that was truely a must watch thing. Amazed me how he could even stay standing, judging by the sheer volume of drugs the man consumed, let alone keep delivering up the songs. Love it if anyone would have a copy of that lying around. Another casualty I am afraid.

[C_A]

doors rules. I've only really ever listened via friends albums *cough downloads cough*
recently bought that 2cd best of, and enjoy it greatly.
some different stuff in there. will definitely be watching more

[jonbuoy]

33% of people have never heard of The Doors???
I had a 2 CD set "live at the Hollywood bowl" a few years ago one of the best live albums I've ever heard period, lent it to a "mate" and never saw it again, never seen it in the shops since either. - Off topic now - I no longer bother with "mates" your either a friend or just someone I know.

[pete376403]

Double live album - "Absolutely Live" Both LPs had the same cover, one blue tinted and one red, so side by side they looked a bit like an old 3-D image .
The opening track "who do you love" (a cover of the Ronny Hawkins track) is great.

Jonboy - Amazon have got copies of live at the hollywood bowl from $3.40

[Steam]

"An American Prayer" the 1978 album. Holy crap that's a good one. Too much for the US public though, with Lament for My Cock and stuff like this:
(Spoken, no music)
The Spanish girl begins to bleed.... She says her period ... It's Catholic heaven;
I have an ancient Indian crucifix around my neck, My chest is hard and brown, Lying on stained, wretched sheets with a bleeding virgin.
We could plan a murder.
Or start a religion.

[peasea]

Someone sing to me so I can recognise a tune!

Lala-lala-lala-la
Lal-la-lala-lalala.

Got it?

I actually really like 'Alive she cried' and I can recall having the flu when I was a spinner and listening to the radio on my sick bed in Constable Street, Newtown, Wellington. 'Riders on the storm' was on the charts. What year was that??????:shit:

Mr :shit:

[Mr Merde]

My favourite doors "album" is the Doors CD smashed into 100 glistening shards by the tyres of a passing bus. Or the vinyl LP that has artfully curled up into a Dali-esque flowerpot with a conveniently centralised drain hole.

I wanna tell you about Texas Radio and the Big Beat

[deanohit]

Wasn't old enough to see them, but my dad got me hooked on them, my current favorite album is "Absolutely (Live)", damn it's good.

[pzkpfw]

Wow.

I'd have voted "they made more than one?"

I need some education, it seems.

[homer]

for a group that only lasted aprox 6 years and that all went to crap in i think it was 1972 "think?"
and there still playing there music today from 6 albums that got originally relesaed

They rock
my fave is the best of
but a album to pick would be L A woman:yeah:

[HenryDorsetCase]

LA Woman.

Its complete in itself, a little snapshot, perfect in every way: like Hotel California six or so years later, or Rumours or Ziggy Stardust.

The others (particularly the soft parade) arent as strong.

[Skyryder]

There was truly something 'magical' about the doors. Morrison was clearly the moszt vocal and noticable of the band. In an age where rock stars vied for attention from each other even within the same band the doors just got on with it and played as a team. The only other band who claim close to this was 'The Band.' and of the two I'd hate to try and pick a winner.

All the Doors Albums were good and it's hard to pick a winner. Best track they ever did was LA Woman.

Thats very well said

I could almost imagine that being written in a magazine about 10 years time

[nudemetalz]

My father was a great fan of The Doors and also Nigel Kennedy (the violinist who plays The Doors music).
So for our wedding, one of our songs was "Riders of the Storm" by Nigel Kennedy as a tribute. You have to hear it, it's superb !!

[Dooly]

Used to have all their albums.

Morrison Hotel was my fav.

American Prayer was interesting to listen to when you're smoking alt ciggies.........:yes:

[Richard Mc F]

LA Woman, especially The wasp ( texas radio and the big beat ) .........."The Negroes in the forest brightly feathered
They are saying, "Forget the night.
Live with us in forests of azure.
Out here on the perimeter there are no stars
Out here we is stoned - immaculate."

:scooter: music

[Hitcher]

Well it's been about an hour since an hour ago

Any woman's gonna have to do

C'mon baby lick my thigh

And our love become a funeral parlour

I pissed in the alley, pissed in the city, pissed in the bowl

[snot]

Not so sure bout this 'alt ciggies' business (youth lingo for drugs perhaps?)
But fucking wickked album to lax out to late at night..
