Julio: can I state that to say my reasons for liking things are "kind of superficial/cliched even" is horrendous claptrap. My reasons are fundamental (to me, though clearky not to you). About that rock verses rap thread... yeah, sorry about that. I thought it was quite funny though. As for the marketing tripe, you are assuming too much. Rock and Roll is not just a musical style to me, it is an ethos. Yet you are right - continued use of the word in generic terms is reductive. I think the soul comments are related to how an individual views music on a fundamental level. That's a long story though...
Dave: Thank you for the guidance. I have been happily adding to old threads, sure, because I take an (dis)interest in these things. However I think my humour seems to have drifted way out to the leftfield on these boards and my failure to appreciate how fundamentally seriously the regulars seem to take posts here has been very much to my detriment. Ah, it's my way to be dismissive but by the same token, I love a fight. I had a look at the other threads and forums but the classics or duds is to me the most interesting - it seems to arouse such distaste in people.
Ronan: You seem to have a very big problem with me old chap. Still, the feeling is reciprocal so it's alright - I think you don't know what you're talking about too. You are too keen to wade in with the personal attacks though, you should spend less time focussing on what you think I am and more on dealing with what I am actually saying.

I also don't have a problem with revisiting classic old threads on a regular basis - it sure beats scrabbling around for the last few C/Ds or all that POO nonsense.
Wasn't Roger Fascist a Viz character, or is that irrelevant?

well, why don't you expand on it because i'd like to know. I want to get to what people's reasoning here.
''As for the marketing tripe, you are assuming too much''
It's a genre name that doesn't tell us abt the diversity within that...what's so wrong about this?
''About that rock verses rap thread... yeah, sorry about that. I thought it was quite funny though.''
I thought it was kind of misinformed and kinda 'funny'.

I'm not even going to bother to explain why, because I'm feeling lazy and there's no point; today's doofus hipsters have already made their Jim hatred well known.
Agree 100% with John B. as to which records are best. Funny the way their career arced like that.

LA Woman is probably their best, either that or the debut.

No way, you always get to choose sides with this. Much like fart jokes, you never outgrow it.

I do like "Touch Me" but are there any actual Doors on it apart from Jimbo?

"This record is many things - raw, fun, bluesy, varied - but it's not circusy, it's not weird, and poop it, it's not idiosyncratic! Any band could have made this album! Well, any band with a godlike singer."
Krieger was kind of standard b-level 60s/70s blues rock
Oh, for christ sake. Yeah, he wasn't Jeff Beck. Dude wrote "Light My Fire" - first song he ever wrote!!!

Listening to the new Doors Live in Boston 1970 triple CD. Morrison keeps it together pretty good for a drunk guy. (Liner notes say that his first move at soundcheck was trying to chop into the stage with the mic stand.)

Classic.
Mediocre poetry, but GREAT theatre.

And his solo on "When the Music's Over" is mind numbing and totally psychedelic.
― QuantumNoise, Sunday, 29 July 2007 21:14 (sixteen years ago) link
"Who Scared You" is a great b-side on that record, and would have been better than a lot of the songs that made it onto Soft Parade.

I started wondering last night: what songs from the original six Doors albums have never been extracted for a compilation? By my count, there are only eight:
I Looked At YouMy Wild LoveYes The River KnowsThe Soft ParadeIndian SummerBeen Down So LongL'AmericaCrawling King Snake
Two or three good ones!
