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

Strange Days has an awesome album cover, as well.

WHo;''s that in your avatar?

Some one really hot

i personnaly like touch me best

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.

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

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.

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

Jack Black doing it is the best.

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

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.

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:

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!!

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

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.

[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.

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.

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

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.

"I believe in a prolonged derangement of the senses to obtain the unknown" - Words to live by.

One of my favourite bands of all time. I quite like "People are Strange" and of course "The End".

I just got into The Doors recently. I like a good amount of their tunes, I'm yet to buy a CD but I'm quite big on them. I noticed Jim's voice changed a bit on LA Woman and I really like it, it sounds bluesier (probably because of the alchohol and packed on pounds).

Like Thickasabrick, I don't know where I'd be without them. Infact I don't think I'd be typing this post out without them. They were the first band who began my never ending love for Classic Rock which eventually lead to exploring other genres such as Jazz, Blues, Folk...etc. Morrison is quite possibly my favorite songwritter, Robby is extremly underrated and when you hear Ray's organs you automaticaly know who's playing. They've made some of the best songs of the 60's with "The End", "When the Music's Over", "Not to Touch the Earth"..etc and one of the greatest albums of all time with their [I]self titled[/I]. As one of my favorite bands I love them to death. :)

well the doors are just a kick *** band and well im not a big literate on jim morrison's literary works but he wrote some significant philosofy works so i dont think he was actually overrated

I love the doors. I own several of there albums and i just bought a live dvd of theirs and it is amazing.

Time for a new album. It will be a Doors album. I've got s/t, Strange Days, and Morrison Hotel. What to get next- WFTS or LA Woman? I've heard most of LA, and a good amount of WFTS, but I'm a bit torn.

Jim Morrison is god. End of story.

Get L.A. Woman. It might be my favorite, right up there with Strange Days and s/t. It's more bluesy than their other albums. Great stuff. Waiting For the Sun is great as well, but I like L.A. Woman better.

Britton if nobody's sent you Spanish Caravan yet, I could send it to you.

I'm not a big fan of the Doors their CD's end up going in one ear and out the other I really don't take any of it in, but if I had to choose the S/T would be my favorite just cause I like "Break on Through".

And I'm not exactly a fan of Jim Morrison.

I heard LAW is quite bluesy, and WFTS is more poppy. This means that I [I]should [/I]go for LAW, but the only thing that would hold me back is the title track. I really don't like it at all. It does have Riders on the Storm, however.
That being said, WFTS has Unkown Soldier. This is hard.

Jim was as Drunkin Poet there you go...

The Doors are awesome. Rock would not be the same if Jim Morrison stayed in Universaty. I have the Guitar Legends Magizine, it is cool and shows some tabs. The Movie 'The Doors' is sweet. It has some naked people in there. (Guys do not watch this just to see naked chicks).

i love the doors. has anyone got the album, 'alive she cried' i never knew they were so ****ing good live!!!

So many random thoughts thrown into one paragraph. :lol:

Anyways I haven't listened to the Doors in quite a while. I listened to La Woman last week but that was it.

/throws on [I]Strange Days[/I]

I love the Doors. I haven't heard a Doors song that I don't like.

I love the doors! umm LA woman is probaly my favorite song is probaly when the musics over and riders of the storm.

The Doors' brand of music is very interesting. I like the sound of how it just feels good to listen to and has a certain edge to it that makes it unique. And you have to love the organ.

So did anyone hear about Robby Krieger and Ray Manzarek's new band?

Well, its called Riders on the Storm. The lead singer is the former Cult singer Ian Astbury.

I listen to them as much as I can, it's just hard because all I have are tapes and records. I'm too lazy to go out and buy CDs. :(

Did you know that in '99, they remastered the s/t LP to include the words '[size=2]f[/size]uck' and 'high' in 'The End' and 'Break on Through', which were omitted for 98 years?
