Best Doors album aside from the debut?!


Question: Best Doors album aside from the debut!?
I've become obsessed with the doors lately! I got thier debut album and a greatest hits album!. I wanna keep getting studio albums, but I'm not certain as to which one to get!. (I prefer psycadelic rock and hard rock!.) I was thinking about getting L!.A!. Woman but I'm not certain!. Could some Doors fans (not just people who dont really know the band) tell me what they think is the doors best studio album (aside from the first) and why!?Www@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
Here, I will give you a simple run through of all the albums so you can decide which one you think you would enjoy the most!. First was their debut album which you already covered so I will skip that one!.
Strange Days- This is their second album, and as the name suggests, has an eerie unique sound!. Strange Days has some really good songs on it!. There are the greatest hit ones, When the Music's Over, Love Me Two Times, People are Strange, and Strange Days!. Aside from the hits there are some other great songs such as Moonlight Drive, My Eye's Have Seen You, and Horse Latitudes!. Those are just a few of the other good ones, because this is the type of album that you put on, and don't ever skip to the next song, because they are all so good!. (this was my first real album by the way)

waiting for the Sun- People have criticized this album for having the third album syndrome, having The Doors completely change to a more pop feel because they ran out of songs!. It was also during the height of Drinking Jim's days!. Most fans say that this is the worst, but I disagree, thinking that although it is a different part of The Doors it is still good!. The well known songs from this are Hello I Love You (number one single), Five to one,The unknown Soldier, and Spanish Caravan !. There are some gems on this too!. There is my favorite song, Not To Touch The Earth (very trippy), Summer's Almost Gone, My wild Love, and Love Street!.

The Soft Parade- The best way to describe this album is insane :) Every song has some twist to it, some type of vocal or instrument that is way different!. The popular songs are Touch Me, and Wild Child!. The crowning glory of the album is The Soft Parade, a long song that uses various studio techniques and instruments for a truly unique song, Jim's lyrics are also incredible!. The other good songs are Wishful Sinful, and Tell All the People!. I love this album, but most common, or casual Doors Fans say it is over instrumentalized (sorry I can't spell) with the strings and horns and all of that!. In a way, I agree it is a bit much, and we are missing part of our Doors, but it is still great in it's own way!.

Morrison Hotel- This is my absolute favorite Door's album!. Jim also said in interviews that it was also his favorite!. This has more of a blues feel , and besides Waiting for the Sun is the only album with no song over 7 minutes!. This was a back to basics for The Doors!. After all the struggles with Waiting, and Parade this was their chance to become The Doors like they were in the early years, and have a fresh start!. I love every song on Morrison Hotel, but I will try to only name a few!. Roadhouse Blues is the single for the album!. Waiting for the Sun (the song), and peace Frog are also well known!. There is also Queen of the Highway (a favorite) Blue Sunday, Maggie M'Gill, You Make Me Real, and many more!. This album is great if you like a blues mixed with rock type sound!.

LA Woman- People usually agree that this was the best album from The Doors!. It is along the lines of their first album in popularity and prestige!. As you probably know, this was their last album together with Jim!. The sound is hard to describe, it is a sort of unique classic mixed with a blues and jazz!. The hits are Riders on the Storm, LA Woman, and Love Her Madly!. There are some great other songs too like Hyacinth House (probably my second favorite song), The Changeling, Crawling king Snake, and Been Down so Long!. Again this is the type of album that you don't skip any songs because they are all so good!.
Based on what you said your interests are, I would suggest LA woman for you to buy!. Morrison Hotel is my favorite though, so I am going to suggest that one too because it is a great album!. Any one that you pick, you will not be disappointed, as they are all fantastic in their own genre or way!. Make sure you tell me which one you pick too, I would like to know :)Www@Enter-QA@Com

Waiting for the Sun!.!.!.it's the bomb

although Strange Days was good, it was too fast of a follow up!. I realize that Waiting entered into bubblegum pop, but with Five to One, Not to Touch the Earth, and Yes the River Knows!.!.!.I can't think of a better album!.!.!.

except maybe Morrison Hotel "grandpa was a sailor!.!.!."Www@Enter-QA@Com

L A Woman has some great songs on it, yet it manages to sound slightly different than the other Doors albums!. Songs like "Hyacinth House", "LaMerica", "Cars Hiss By My Window", "The Wasp" and the title song make this one of their best and diverse!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

The Doors is the self-titled debut album by the band The Doors, recorded in 1966 and released in 1967!. It features the breakthrough single "Light My Fire", extended with a substantial instrumental section omitted on the single release, and the lengthy song "The End" with its Oedipal spoken-word section!. The Doors credit the success of their first album to being able to work the songs out night after night at the Whisky A Go Go or the London Fog!. "Alabama Song" was originally written and composed by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill for their opera Aufstieg und Fall der Stadt Mahagonny (Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny); "Back Door Man" was a Howlin' Wolf cover!. "The End"'s Oedipal climax was first performed live at the Whisky A Go Go and The Doors were thrown out as a result of lead vocalist Jim Morrison screaming "kill the father and **** the mother!."

The songs "Break on Through (To the Other Side)" and "The End" were both released censored with the album!. During "Break on Through" the part where Jim Morrison sings "She gets, she gets" was originally recorded as "She get high!." The interlude singing part near the end of "The End" was censored and taken out!. It included Jim using the word **** over and over!. Subsequent releases of the album have both of the original parts intact, although 1980s compact disc reissues appear to keep the verses censored!. The band accepted this censorship but would refuse later to reword "Light my Fire" in the infamous Ed Sullivan Show ("Girl we couldn't get much higher")!.

[edit] Legacy

The album's dark tone and frontman Jim Morrison's sexual charisma and wild lifestyle influenced much of rock and roll to come!.

The album is generally thought of as the band's best work, in addition to being one of the greatest debut album's by any band!. It's also considered to be one of the quintessential albums of the counterculture movement/Social Revolution!. In 1998 Q magazine readers voted The Doors the 93rd greatest album of all time; in 2003 the TV network VH1 placed it at number 60!. In 2003, the album was ranked number 42 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
