Who's Meir Ariel? I thought that was Frankie Valli.

I also wondered why Dave Stewart of the Eurhythmics was lurking by the pool table.

Then I realized that was silly and it was obviously Roy Harper.

"Touch Me" over "Running Blue," "Peace Frog," and "Hyacinth House."

i agree that james dean and marilyn are cool enough to be considered honorary rock stars

vocals on "hyacinth house" sound like somebody doing a parody of jim morrison as an old man bitching across the table to his wife/bridge partner

"Strange Days"
so apocalyptic. so psychedelic and dark. almost has a Pornography-era Cure vibe to it. and Morrison's anguished "yeah!" sounds pretty cool.

I have liked them a lot during my teenage years but nowadays the only track I enjoy from them is "LA woman". and it's great !
― AlXTC from Paris, Wednesday, 26 July 2017 09:22 (six years ago) link
I could prob do a PO5 for these guys, but if there's one I couldn't live without it's "Peace Frog," inexplicable Bridge included

then prob five to one
man i love the doors
"Touch Me"
― dorsalstop, Wednesday, 26 July 2017 13:36 (six years ago) link
what I like about "LA woman" is its motoric influence + it's pure fun, no psychedelia/poetic bullshit.actually, on the same album, the other track I still like is "riders on the storm".
― AlXTC from Paris, Wednesday, 26 July 2017 13:38 (six years ago) link
Riders, always and forever
honorable mentions today: strange days, five to one

can categorically say I do not actually love the Doors but I can vibe out to Riders on the Storm and LA Woman

and Five to One. And Peace Frog.
So many greats but I'm with stirmonster

Or even 'The Celebration of the Lizard' (live, not studio)

pretty random: decided to watch road house AGAIN and of course roadhouse blues is in there, played by jeff healey and his roadhouse band, so after the movie was over i put on the first doors album (that originally belonged to my mom, and which i “borrowed” years ago), then realised i wanted to hear l.a. woman, so i fired up spotify and there’s this thing, released todayhttps://open.spotify.com/album/16MdQbBQqegRmEkwshz2Ev?si=IET3bQ-jRy6tilem92Cznw-a “remaster” of changeling (which i can’t really tell the difference on)- a demo version of riders on the storm which isn’t as good because it lacks a lot of the drawn out electric piano riffing and a lot of the atmospherics, but which DOES include that absolutely tremendous bassline, even higher in the mix. does it remind anybody else of “billie jean”?- an alternate take of l.a. woman which i think i might even prefer? it’s tighter, closer, jim’s lower in the mix
― Tracer Hand, Friday, 29 October 2021 22:07 (two years ago) link
I can hear Billie Jean yeah and it’s a tremendous genius simple line that outlines the minor root and major IV really sneakily

I tried going further with the Doors, and not a single one of their albums held up from start-to-finish. I only kept this reference comp I made from audiophile reissues - few tracks are faultless, but I still enjoy listening to the whole thing quite a bit:
1 Break On Through (To The Other Side) 02:292 The Crystal Ship 02:353 Twentieth Century Fox 02:344 Light My Fire 07:085 Back Door Man 03:346 The End 11:427 Love Me Two Times 03:188 Moonlight Drive 03:019 People Are Strange 02:1210 Hello, I Love You 02:1511 Touch Me 03:1812 Roadhouse Blues 04:0213 Peace Frog 02:5414 Land Ho! 04:0815 Love Her Madly 03:2216 L.A. Woman 07:5217 The WASP (Texas Radio And The Big Beat) 04:1618 Riders On The Storm 07:14
Most of it's already on the U.S. (i.e. single-CD) version of the 2001 compilation The Very Best of the Doors which Christgau graded as an A, the only Doors release to get that from him.
― birdistheword, Friday, 29 October 2021 22:55 (two years ago) link
Actually maybe there's only one single-CD version? Hard to say, there's way too many Doors compilations (which makes burning my own kind of funny, but I wanted audiophile sources for mine).
― birdistheword, Friday, 29 October 2021 22:58 (two years ago) link
anybody remember what that video was that stirmonster posted upthread?
― Tracer Hand, Friday, 29 October 2021 23:03 (two years ago) link
nope. it might have been some version of "the crystal ship".
― stirmonster, Friday, 29 October 2021 23:18 (two years ago) link
Growing your own comp might well be the best way to go---but then again, I did like several of their albums pretty much all the way through: the debut (personal revelation: "Alabama Song [Whiskey Bar], or vice versa, though I had heard tell of Brecht-Weill and Threepenny Opera, this led me to that and a lot more by those guys, sep and together---also, that marxophone, yow), Waiting For The Sun(Thee Eclectic Album which every aspiring and many a status-maintaining band had to make about then, and I played the HELL out of it man), also most of Morrison Hotel and LA Woman, which xgau did give an Aminus, o thank you Lord, and Absolutely Live, the only live Doors album I've heard, which is sensitive and caveman in just the right places.
― dow, Saturday, 30 October 2021 00:50 (two years ago) link
And OK, sometimes sensitive caveman at the same time, long before early Vedder etc.
