I know this will be moved to the proto-prog and prog-related lounge, but we STILL CANNOT post polls in there (can someone take care of this, please ?).
 
Speak your mind !
 
Edit : I'll vote later as I still have to listen to Morisson Hotel.

I haven't listened to any in ages, but since "The Doors" is the one vividly populating my mind&soul when I think of them, while for some other albums I can barely remember the basic tunes, there goes my vote.

Their self titled debut is my favourite."Light My Fire" still amazes me.

As I say in my detailed series of reviews of the 2007 remixes,  (Embarrassedcheap advertisement)Big%20smile, my absolute favorite is STRANGE DAYS, which combines the best elements of THE DOORS with the psychedelia and darkness and Morrison's voice and writing at their peak.
 
By the way, if anybody votes for THE SOFT PARADE, I demand you to wait till I get my psychology degree in a couple of years, and then come visit me as my first patient. Tongue

Just finished listening to The Soft Parade, and it is DEFINITELY not as bad as everyone makes it out to be.  Not my favorite, but good nonetheless.

I don't think their debut is very impressive.  I tend to get bored with it, but The mid-later albums are awesome.  L.A. Woman, Soft Parade, Morrison Hotel.

"The Doors" and "Morrison Hotel" are the best ones.
From the first one, we can take legendary doors' songs, songs that "people" associate with the band, and that are "known" in the popular culture, like "break on through" or "light my fire", but we have also "the end ".
"Morrison Hotel" is a different album, and which works better for a continuous listening, and this is why i prefer it.

With amazing songs like The Changeling, LA Woman, L 'America, The Wasp and Riders on the Storm who could deny an album like that. I could mention all of the tracks. Not a single weak one!!

The eponymous album simply blew me off, it's half of the music I totally love from the Doors (yes, I've become a fan after listening, so typical of me...).

I'll go with the first, but LA Woman is an extremely close second

Waiting for the Sun. Spanish Caravan is amazing.

Do 'The Stanley' otherwise I'll thrash you with some rhubarb.

While writing the The Doors biography for this site, I decided to give all The Doors albums an intense listening session. My personal experience is that their first sounds the most captivating and unique (on the level of albums like The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn by Pink Floyd and Santana their first) and then gradually all following albums sound a bit less interesting with Wating For The Sun and The Soft Parade as their lowest artistic effort. Then their final album  LA Woman sounds fresh and inspired, like a new band , more blues oriented.

LA Woman, their most mature album. Tight bandplaying and pretty down-to-earth lyrics from Mr. Mojo Rising.
First album contains a bit too much filler imo.
