What's the name of that song with the spanish guitar?

robo2448 10-21-2005 06:43 PM

I like the Doors a lot. S/T, Strange Days and LA Woman are all really great albums. Morrison Hotel is quite good as well. My favorite song is probably When the Music's Over or Back Door Man.

Anxious 10-21-2005 07:16 PM

Whats a good album to start out on?

Lunch 10-21-2005 07:17 PM

Definitely their Self-titled.

I really like that one and Strange Days. I like the Doors overall, but I'm not in love with them.

Anxious 10-21-2005 07:21 PM

Ok I'll get that, I really like Morrison's voice, but havent really listened to them alot. Thanks.

I just bought the Guitar World 'Guitar Legends' magazine on The Doors. Really interesting stuff. If you are a Doors fan, I would recommend buying it.

The Doors are one of my favorite bands of all time.

One of my favorite Classic Rock bands. I was more into Jim Morrison than the band, his poetry is intense.

dr._feelgood 10-21-2005 09:56 PM

The End is an amazing song.

PrimalScream 10-21-2005 10:06 PM

My Eyes Have Seen You is my favorite song on Strange Days

Britton 10-21-2005 10:50 PM

I guess need to get spanish carevan.

Thanks

Good luck with this thread

My favorite Doors album is Strange Days. That's a real cool one.

dr._feelgood 10-21-2005 10:59 PM

Strange Days has an awesome album cover, as well.

i personnaly like touch me best

The_Passenger 10-22-2005 04:16 AM

They're an alright band. I don't get what the big fuss about them is. They're certainly not bad, but I don't see them as anything special either.

rockinbass17 10-22-2005 10:12 PM

You have to be exposed to the right stuff. They're very hit-and-miss.

Ephemeral 10-22-2005 11:15 PM

I remember listening to them as a kid. My Dad would put on the albums and I would just sit and listen to them. After they were done, I would ask him to put them on again. I spent days just listening to their music. I never get bored of it.

I had the opportunity to see them this summer, as The Doors Of The 21st Century. Now they are touring as Riders On The Storm. They put on a brilliant show.

dr._feelgood 11-01-2005 11:07 AM

It's not the same without Jim Morrison, though.

Jack Black doing it is the best.

crawlingkingsnake 11-13-2005 07:12 PM

jim morrisons poetry and lyrics are trippy as hell/. i always thought there was some deeper meaning in his words to be deciphered. this is kind of true but i was listening to some interview of the doors that i d/l'd a cuple weeks ago and he said something like "theres really no central theme running through our lyrics, but we create an ambience. a feeling of the strange"

i consider (some)of his lyrics great poetry because they don't always make sense but they communicate moore of a feeling

CantBuyAThrill 11-13-2005 07:37 PM

Favorite album? "The Doors"
Favorite Songs? I like their longer, trippy songs like "When the Music's Over" and "The End". For shorter songs, I really dig "Soul Kitchen" and "Whiskey Bar", though "Peace Frog" and "Five to One" are great songs as well.
Drunken fool or poet? Both

[QUOTE]Jack Black doing it is the best.[/QUOTE]

No, the Doors doing it is the best. Though Jack's version isn't bad.

"The Crystal Ship" has some of my favorite (non-Dylan) all time lyrics in it.

deadvoodoodoll 11-13-2005 07:51 PM

the doors are one of my favorite bands :D

strange days is my favorite albums and when to music's over is my favorite song. Jim Morrison's poetry and lyrics are just amazing. and Robby Krieger is a damn good guitareist. i was actually thinking of getting the chours to "when the music's over" tattooed on me, but that may be to fangirlish of me. i don't want to whore the band too much :rolleyes:

Broken Arrow 11-13-2005 07:56 PM

The Doors are definetly one of my favourite bands. I have there complete studio collection(with Jim), In Concert, American Prayer(Jim's poetry album) and the DVD Live in Europe '68.

Great Band!!

Britton 11-13-2005 10:21 PM

Hey could someone E-mail me Spanish Caravan? I've been getting into Spanish
err fleminco style music and I think that would be another cool song to know

if you can it's

Sebek 11-13-2005 10:32 PM

I had their dual disc collection CD, but it's too scratched to go on the compytron now. :(


I'll either wait until I can borrow some CD's/have them sent to me since I don't feel like getting a handfull of songs from Limewire.

Iron_Weed 11-13-2005 10:35 PM

[QUOTE=corporalclegg]Whats yours thought on Jim Morrison? Drunken fool or poet?[/QUOTE]

I'd say both, when he doesn't go off into drunken ramblings he can put forth some very deep and witty stuff. However his constant drunkness gave The Doors an X factor which many bands don't posses live so I wouldn't change it.
I'm a big fan of Riders on the Storm, Break on Thorugh, and Roadhouse Blues. I enjoy the Doors more in principle than I do most of their songs however.

Glitterati 11-13-2005 11:32 PM

I love The Doors, though I think Morrison was overrated as an intellectual. But, he did have a good voice and some awesome trippy lyrics. Their s/t album is a wicked album, something I can listen to all the way through front to back.

Riders On The Storm is great to listen to on a rainy day.

Ephemeral 11-13-2005 11:41 PM

I listened to their first album again today. Their music just always blows me away.

thickasabrick 11-14-2005 02:13 AM

I looooove The Doors. Jim Morrison is amazing, he's my second favourite songwriter (Bob Dylan)...and everything he's written has changed my life so drastically that I don't know where I'd be right now without his influence.

Ray is my favourite keyboard/organist, he could play some freakin' amazing stuff. Robbie is one of my biggest guitar influences, plus he was a great songwriter too. The Doors definitely wouldn't have been nearly as famous without both Ray and Robbie.

John was dead weight. Haha just kidding, he was a really cool drummer, but he didn't seem to add as much to the music as the other members did...he was too timid, in my opinion. His drumming on When The Music's Over is great though.
