How can you do anything better than ''the crystal ship'' anyway? |
Indeed! Got to love that Vox Jaguar organ sound that was so Doors in that 1967 timeframe!

Was it a Vox Jaguar? I thought it was a Vox Continental

Looks like you´ve got your first patient! It´s not me, though, I go for Strange Days.

The debute is one of my all time fav albums. Might have something to do with that it was the first i heard and then dident buy a new one before years later. Got em all now and like em all very much. But the debute is still the best.

I have been switching back and forth between their debut (2007 remastered) and The Soft Parade (2007 remastered) for a while. I introduced myself to them 8 years ago with The Soft Parade, and that might be the reason that it stands as my favorite. Their first album was never my favorite (I love all the songs - but it felt like it lagged) - thanks to the 2007remasters it has become one of my most played albums (it sounds so fresh now).

No one knows what the purpose of it originally was or if it had a purpose at all. Personally I think it was a pure artistic creation from the beginning.

Now made up my mind : Waiting for the Sun is my favorite, with Strange Days very close behind.
WFTS is so eerie and dark in parts, very engaged lyrically, and it has so many great songs (Not to Touch the Earth, Spanish Caravan, Five to One, The Unknown Soldier, Hello I Love You,etc...)

S/T, easily, though L.A. Woman, Morrison Hotel and Strange Days are superb as well.
The others - not so much.

Waiting for the sun for me, followed closely by the eponimous. All their albums have great songs though.

Musically it would be their first album, but for me L.A. Woman is pure emotion and blues genious - now who could have imagined Art Rock band like The Doors can pull out such a blues masterpiece with some really serious proto-prog elements?
