The Doors are amazing. Had to pick The End, because, well its The End.

I like all of these, but voted for Soft Parade, by a narrow margin over The End.

A good poll is when it's hard to pick, this is one of those cases. The End and When The Music's Over are both classic epics. L.A Woman is fantastic and has such a driving energy. Riders on the Storm is essential and one of the band's best songs. I'll have to sleep on it for now.

Wow, you have 'Ships w/ Sails' as an option, and it's post-Morrison! I voted for it just because you included it (was going to vote for Soft Parade). I wonder what it would have sounded like with Jim on vocals. A great song.

It's between The End, When The Music's Over, LA Woman and Riders on the Storm for me.

Ok, Riders this time.

Riders on the Storm happens to be my favorite Doors song. Otherwise, I tend to prefer their shorter songs.

The End and When the Music's over may be good songs by this band that I'm not really find of, but Light My Fire is a true proto-prog classic and my favourite Doors track.

"Riders on the Storm." I went out of my Doors faze a couple of decades a go, but this tune never goes out of faze for me. Ditto for "Touch Me" (although not an 'epic')...

I would have gone with "The Celebration of the Lizard" had it been included (more of a suite of song poems than an epic, and they didn't record it for a studio album as they had wanted to, so I wouldn't expect it)



But I voted for The Soft Parade.  Could have easily gone with Light My Fire too, which actually has been the most important Doors song to me
