   I had to cast a vote for The Changeling, one of my favorites of theirs and one that I played when I was in a band many moons ago.  Our bassist had a really hard time with it.  And yes, I voted several others.

	Oh, that's a large choice of 'em. "The Crystal Ship" "Light My Fire" (why do you think this album is so heavily celebrated even by non-prog listeners? ) "Riders on the Storm" Edited by Dayvenkirq - May 20 2013 at 22:45

	I just heard that Ray Manzarek has died. As one of the first well known organ/keyboard players in rock, Ray helped create The Doors signature sound. Besides the straight ahead rock numbers that brought The Doors radio airplay and fame, there were plenty of proggish moments for this genre stretching rock band. To honour the memory of Ray, select those songs that you think defined the proggiest moments of The Doors. This is a multiple choice poll so choose all The Doors songs that you think fall in the prog realm. RIP Ray Manzarek...Break On Through! Edited by The.Crimson.King - May 20 2013 at 21:36
