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
Light My Fire is kind of a dumb song, honestly - if you've ever heard anyone else sing it, it really comes through.

dud. i mean sure, morrison's buffoonery is a well-worn subject, but i'd be able to dig it if he had even just a half-decent band behind him. specifically, john densmore sounds like he's desultorily checking his watch, like he'd much rather be doing something else.
one of the best favors the Who ever did for anyone was when they "accidentally" destroyed some of the doors' gear opening for them at a 1968 show.

Mae West's version is classic. So is Al Green's.

I Netflixed this Doors collection DVD out of curiosity and it was pretty fun because I was really into the Doors in high school. But I'll never forget this one moment when i was watching the LA Woman video and I don't know if it was a different mix that put Jim's vocals more up front or what, but at 6:10 he makes this sound that brought the LOLZ. It sounds like he is
a)drunkb)just tripped over somethingc)still trying to be cool on the record
It's pretty damn funny!
― Adam Bruneau, Sunday, 21 September 2008 21:41 (fifteen years ago) link
Dud. I was recently at a party where the host had what I'm guessing must be every single Doors release ever (there were like five different 4cd bootleg comps to start with) and I accidentally told him they were crap. Pretty sure we'll never be friends but it doesn't matter, can't trust anyone who is THAT into the Doors.

Adam, was it the studio version?
