L.A. Woman
Words cannot express how much I love this album. Only people who have been fucked by life like Jim will truly get it. | | 2 |  | The Doors
Strange Days
Better than the self-titled? You bet. Has a little more character because of the intentionally spooky quality running through most tracks. Everything other than "Unhappy Girl" is quintessential Doors. The bass playing is amazing too. | | 3 |  | The Doors
The Doors
The birth of the greatest American rock band. Most songs became classics, one became a gigantic radio hit, but I think the standouts are Break On Through, The Crystal Ship, Alabama Song, and The End | | 4 |  | The Doors
The Soft Parade
Underrated. Shows The Doors' versatility and also the fact that they could hang with rival acts like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and The Beach Boys who were employing string arrangements and horns in their songs. Also the most fun Doors record, despite the allegedly tense recording sessions. Really the only problem I have with the record is that Ray Manzarek gets drowned out on certain tracks. | | 5 |  | The Doors
Waiting for the Sun
The last album of The Doors' halcyon years before trouble started to brew. But also got rushed out by Paul Rothschild, trying to capitalize off the success of the self-titled and Strange Days. Amidst gems like Hello I Love You, Not To Touch The Earth, The Unknown Soldier, Spanish Caravan, and Five To One are some of the most mediocre songs The Doors ever recorded with Jim, like Wintertime Love, and We Could Be So Good Together. | | 6 |  | The Doors
Morrison Hotel
The last four songs don't do much for me. I'm pretty sure they were leftovers from previous albums, and Indian Summer sounds a lot like The End. But Roadhouse Blues, Waiting For The Sun, You Make Real, Peace Frog, Ship Of Fools, and Land Ho! kick ass. The Doors never made a truly bad album with Jim. | | 7 |  | The Doors
Other Voices
I think the way The Doors carried on without Jim was tasteful, in that they only made two albums, and didn't try to "Paul Rodgers" the guy with a subpar replacement. They just focused on the talents of the existing members. Everyone knows the best song is Tightrope Ride with Ray singing. | | 8 |  | The Doors
An American Prayer
If this is to be considered a canon Doors album, here's where I would put it. It doesn't have a lot of repeat listen value, but when you do listen to it, it's a fascinating insight into Jim's mind. | | 9 |  | The Doors
Full Circle
And here's where the surviving Doors ran out of anything meaningful to say. Nary anything good to be found on here besides Good Rockin' and The Mosquito, which was actually a minor hit. But Robbie's singing is out-of-tune. | |

12.23.18 | Nice write ups. As you said, The Doors never made a truly bad album with Jim.
The Soft Parade is my least favorite and it's still a great album with nice ideas plus the brass section adds to the album. Waiting for the Sun is their most underrated release imo. | widowslaugh123
12.23.18 | I’m a bitch I only care about the first album and then random songs | IronGiant
12.23.18 | shame, Unhappy Girl is a sweet little tune I enjoy a lot... "you were locked... in a prisonnnn of your.... OWWWWWN DEVISSEEEEE" *funhouse mirror Krieger solo* | ArsMoriendi
12.23.18 | 2 > 1 > 5 > 3 > 6 > 4

12.23.18 | Garbage band | WatchItExplode
12.23.18 | When the music's over Doors number one song. If I could go back in time to see one band at their peak it would be the doors | widowslaugh123
12.23.18 | Hey if you like the doors you should also check out The Rolling Stones and Black Sabbath! | sixdegrees
