Oh, I went through a big Doors phase in younger years. Drove the GF freakin crazy, perhaps topped only by the irritation she felt when I was going through my Grateful Dead phase. To this day, her eye twitches a bit when I throw on the Dead, as she fears a possible relapse.

Ironically, I generally loathe compilations, but with the Doors, one of their best releases was just that. "Weird Scenes Inside the Gold Mine" has not only most of their best material, but it manages to capture a cohesive vibe that cements the songs into their own "album" personality, if that makes sense.

But back on topic, my fave Doors songs are...

The Crystal Ship

Alabama/Whiskey (Hollywood Bowl version)

End of the Night

You're Lost Little Girl

Love Street

Yes, the River Knows

Peace Frog

Blue Sunday

Shaman's Blues
