Does anyone here like the Doors, and if so, have any favorite Doors song?

To be honest, I'm not a huge Doors fan, but this is definitely one of my favorites.

And I realize this is mostly for the "older" folks.



PS. Yes, we were Young once too.

OP was MEANT to say Favorite Doors SONG!

Great taste.

I like that rolling bass on Love Her Madly as well as the old synth. For some reason those two instruments just reach out to me.

They were ahead of their time IMO.

I'm going to listen to all of the above tracks that you've responded with. I'm becoming a bigger fan everyday. Thank you!

Hyacinth House is greatness. And I forgot about their killer version of Back Door Man.

LA Woman is great. Love that song.

The whole LA Woman album is great. Introduced my 19 year old daughter to the album on a road trip last year and she was getting the groove.

Let me tell you about Texas radio and the big beat!

Forget the night, live with us in forests of azure
Out here on the perimeter there are no stars
Out here we is stoned, immaculate

Riders on the storm
The Crystal Ship
Alabama song
LA woman

Peace Frog is my favorite

Alabama Song or Peace Frog

My favorite Doors "doing" came recently when Thor did his best Jim Morrison impression ala 1970 for End Game. that was nails.

The End

Alabama song or soul kitchen

I've found that I always have a different favorite Doors song depending on the mood I'm in when I listen to it. I like all of these mentioned although I tend to favor Love Her Madly, Peace Frog, Break on Through, and When the Music's Over the most. That's the cool thing about the Doors, they are such a different sound than other bands ans have so many unique songs within their playlist.

Cool story for me - I went to see the Doors in 2011 at the House of Blues in Dallas and I almost didn't go because my Dad had been in the hospital for 3 months with a lengthy illness and it was a busy hectic time for me to go from Fort Worth to Dallas on a weeknight BUT I decided last minute "well it's the Doors and they won't be around much longer" so I went and it was one of the BEST shows I've ever seen. Yes it was just 50% of the Doors, it was Ray Manzarek, Robbie Krieger, a Fake Jim which sounded and looked AND acted like Real Jim, and then a 4th spare lol but they all sounded perfect. I was 37 at the time and was by far the youngest person attending I think. They all sounded strong and just like they always have and Ray even played the keyboards with his foot (you have to see it to believe it). Listening to him talk and say "we still miss our friend Jim and he was our good friend" was so cool because there I was watching some legends of Rock and Roll.

One of the coolest things that happened was before the show I got there really early because I had never been to the House of Blues in Dallas and so I parked pretty early and was just walking around trying to find where to go in and I ended up by their tour buses which are parked right out in the open. It was nighttime and dark outside already because it was in November and I noticed an older guy by himself come walking out from between the buses and I looked at him a second and thought "who is that guy he looks familiar" and then I realize it's Robbie Krieger!

I gave him a head nod and said "Hi" because he at first looked a tad concerned that someone might recognize him but when I head nodded he head nodded back and I was about to say "I am really looking forward to the show tonight" and might have been able to have a short conversation with a Rock legend but before I could, several idiot autograph hounds ran by me saying "Robbie! Robbie!" with stuff in their hands for him to sign and he beat a hasty exit up into his tour bus. I can't stand it when idiot people like those autograph hounds act like that. But I'll always remember the time that I had a face to face encounter, albeit a head nod, with Robbie Kreiger of the Doors.

I really love The Soft Parade. Such a weird, beautiful song that I didn't like when I first heard it.

My top 3:
The End
Roadhouse Blues
Touch Me

I'm not a big Doors fan, but most of the time when I hear LA Woman or Roadhouse Blues I enjoy it way more than I would expect.

I always resented that they didn't have a bass player.

The End

There are way too many to list. The original Doors album is one of those I'd have if trapped on a desert island.

But if I have to list...
The Wasp
Love Her Madly
Peace Frog
The End
Back Door Man
When the Music's Over
Love Me Two Times
My Wild Love
Not to Touch the Earth

The End
