Appreciating 'The Doors'

I have heavily relistening to The Doors for the past month
or so, and my god, they've never sounded better! The End
really is a fantastic track! and Peace Frog makes me
jitter-jive everytime I hear it! Although they did a few
stinkers, their best stuff is so fantastic! The percussion
on some of their later albums is so nice!

i've been listening to plenty of their stuff about two weeks
ago...definitely my favourite band from that period!
although i have to say my favourite songs are the ones that
got pretty popular :)

oh, look! it's the obvious joke;

whenever I need to pass through a wall, I appreciate the
doors!

It was only by listening to The End thru headphones that I
realised Morrison is moaning "Fuck me baby" in the second
half of the song :D

Have you also noted that there are two lines from "end of
the night" which are actually by William Blake, who wrote
the lines "the doors of perception" which Aldous Huxley used
and so did.. The Doors.

yeah fucking great stuff.
You guys knew about Mr. Mojo Risin being an anagram for "Jim
Morrison", right? Just move the letters around....
ah-Keep your eyes on the road and your hand upon the
whee-heel we're going to the roadhouse, gonna have a real-ah
... good time!
Nice.
In the movie too, the part where Pam asks Jim "where he's
going" and it shows him walking away from the camera in the
desert is actually footage of the real Jim Morrison.

come on, come on, come on, now and touch me babe! i like
this track simply because its a very simply track but sounds
very big, and i especially like the diff instruments mixed
in with the classic doors sound.

I love John Densmore. And I have a lot in common with Robbie
Krieger, in that we both play guitar without picks, but
still not quite finger-style. So they really appeal to me,
instrumentally.

The Doors are awesome. It's in vogue to diss them nowadays,
but Jim had spunk.

Not to touch the EARRRTH, not to see the SUUUUN, nuthin'
left to DOOO but ruuun, ruuun, ruuun, let's run... let's
run... my favorite Doors song.

I used to have all their CDs are Virgin Megastore had them
on sale for £6.99 about 12 years ago... then I lost them
all! But now I have them all in mp3 format, hurrah!! I went
off them for a few years, but listening to them recently has
really rocked!
