They could call it *blues*, but The Doors couldn't play blues...imo.
 One of the greatests proto prog bands, though.

Maybe because the guitar solo has been known to make infants grow facial hair?

"Cars Hiss By My Window", can't get more bluesy than that...well... most on that list, including "Crawling King Snake" my second favourite.

Roadhouse Blues is a song I really love, though my favourite out of those is Been Down So Long

Not a Doors composition, but they do a decent job on Back Door Man.  I suppose the more correct answer, almost hinted at, is that they weren't really a very good blues band compared to many of their contemporaries who also dabbled in the genre.
Can you tell me where we're headin'?
Lincoln County Road or Armageddon.

Roadhouse blues, because it was one of the first songs I learned to play on the guitar.

I can't believe 'Roadhouse Blues' is winning: the most awful, predictable, commercial blues attempt they ever did.

However, they were good at many things - blues being one of them. Almost all of the options are great, but I will discount "Who Do You Love" which was Dixon's tune (IIRC) and 'Crawling King Snake' which is a bit hermetic for my taste.
Of all other each one is okay in its own right but my faves are social 'Maggie M'Gill' (why am I always picturing young Janine Turner?) with its excellent rhythmical hook, and 'The Spy' for it's haziness.
Percussion, sir!

Backdoor Man is a pretty great song. 
I prefer some other Doors songs over it, but it wins this poll for me.

well i can only remember to have hear LIght my Fire (and remember it afterwards have heard som other the Doors albums but i cind of unexperienced on that band, i shoul probably sheck out some more of their work)

but the Hammond solo on Light my Fire is legendary and a wonderfull epic song (one of the first real progressive songs I heard before i knew of the genre Prog that and Elton Johns Funural For a Frien/Love Lies Bleeding )
