I don't have it moka, I've got three no.3s but nothing higher. I sent a thank you to everyone, if you didn't get that then it didn't reach me.

I hate the idea of this poll having an asterisk, that's ruined my life evening life

imo, you should just continue the poll as planned, and after the whole wrap up you can post how it would've looked w/ moka's ballot. it's unfortunate but don't sweat it, things happen.

I've been trying to think of a suitably buoyant, motivational lyric to get us through - but like I say, there's nothing but bad vibes.

Don't wanna derail, but I found this in The Book of Rock Lists (1981 edition), thought it was kinda cool:
Ray Manzarek's Most Memorable Doors Concerts1. Whisky a Go-Go, Los AngelesWhen Jim first did "Father, I want to kill you, Mother I want to fuck you!" We were fired that night.2. Fillmore West, San FranciscoThe weekend of the Human Be-In, the world's first love-in ever. We were the opening act. The first number was "When the Music's Over." We'd never opened with it before, or since.3. Singer Bowl, New YorkWhat a show! The Doors and The Who. And what a riot! One of the best riots I've ever been in.4. The Roundhouse, LondonThe Doors and The Jefferson Airplane: Psychedelic West Coast comes to England.5. MiamiI think we all know what happened there. Or do we? Did he really do it? If he did it, how long was it?6. Des MoinesThirty-four people in the audience. One of the last college gigs before "Light My Fire" hit the top of the charts. We were a little early for Des Moines. The promoters told us that the week before, more than 5000 people had come to the same auditorium to see The Association.

Yeah, the Who weren't happy about opening for the Doors (they weren't exactly fans), and their smashup "accidentally" damaged some of the Doors' gear.

Just checking this thread out now.

Too High:Touch Me, Love Me Two Times, Alabama Song
― kornrulez6969, Monday, 27 May 2013 19:42 (eleven years ago) link
Can guess 1 of the top 3 fer sure. The other 2 are a little tricker, depending on how many of you go for Doors ballads.

aw man too low on la woman (listening to it right now lol), thought it had a very real shot at #1

rooting for 'crystal ship' to pull it out (EH?) over 'riders on the storm'. ecstatic if 'the wasp' takes it.
