The Crystal Ship, love the piano on that. It could just as easily have been Break On Through, Light My Fire or Take it As It Comes though. The End is actually the only track on the album I don't much care for. Maybe I'm not Prog! Confused

Not a real fan, but I chose between Light My Fire and The End... and voted for the latter.

Wow! "Break On Through" is one of the greatest rock songs ever written for me. That latin beat during the verse and then turning into that heavy impact drive of a 4/4 beat is outstanding. How can you not tap or move your body as this song drives through you? Jim Morrison's voice throughout the song is one of the greatest rock vocal undertakings in this world! He is a progressive storyteller with a solid deep blues tone on this one. It's clearly one of the greatest rock songs in this world.

Hi,
 
I'm going to abstain on this one.
 
There really is nothing in this album that I can not sit and go ... nice ... really nice ... and simply go away with it.
 
My favorite, and probably most important one, will always be "The Soft Parade" ... mostly because it is the one piece that forces you to look in the mirror, and most people refuse to do it!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Kurt Weill did it better, but I can't go against The Alabama Song.

Tough choice between The Crystal Ship and The End. Voted for the latter.

A thousand girls, a thousand thrills
A million ways to spend your time
When we get back, I'll drop a line"

The Crystal Ship !
And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun

I like them all with the exception of "I looked at you". I went with "The End".

That would be fine if it were on their debut instead of Strange Days. Wink
