The End is the most fun to sing/scare people with, but the subtle beauty of Riders on the Storm is unparalleled.

I chose When the Music's Over. L.A. Woman and Celebration of the Lizard were forgotten, though.

"Riders on the Storm" for me - one of my all-time favourite songs.

This is a tough one. All 4 are equally stunning and I cannot easily pick a favourite, but since "Riders" got me into starting discovery music in the first place, there it goes.. Big%20smile

The End is my favourite Doors song, and a decent piece of prog to go with it. The End gets my vote

Also a point of interest, Light My Fire was written by the guitarist (I can't remember his name right now) and it was also the very first song he wrote.

How much more underrated can Robby get???Confused
 
I voted for The End.

I voted for "Light My Fire" although "The End" is my fave one.
 
The reason ?
 
I went and see "The Riders From The Storm" two weeks ago in Antwerp (Belgium). The last encore was "Light My Fire" and it was grandiose.
 
Cheers.

Riders, could have been any of them though! "The End" always gives me Apocalypse Now flashbacks.

I played LA Woman this weekend, and when Riders on the Storm was over, I was speechless with incredulity. It is the perfect blend of poetry, errie production effects (the storm, Jim's whispering accompaniment to the vocal track), and fiery instrumental improvisation (one of Mazarek's shining brilliant moments is the solo during that song; Krieger's "Ghost Riders in the Sky" reverby guitar.
 
The amazement...the amazement...

Light My Fire, the guitar and organ solo are so perfect.

All four are amongst the greatest rock songs ever written. I have long considered "Riders On The Storm" as the greatest single of all time and would be in the running for greatest song ever so....not surprisingly, that got my vote!
