Damn this album...I could makes polls about it all night (like, is it conceptual? Thematic? Another poll...).
Anyway, fairly straightforward here. I have a feeling that "When the Music's Over" will do well. It's pretty freaky man (er, I mean, "lengthy and musically and lyrically interesting"). And frankly, it's just a good song. But then again, so is "Love Me Two Times." And a buncha other crap. Hell, I don't even mind "Horse Latitudes."
As for me, I'm ashamed to admit it, but I ADORE the gothic popper "When You're Strange." Since the moment I heard it on the radio some years ago, when the sky was gray and pouring rain. Still just as good today, if not better, now that I can appreciate this stuff more maturely.
Anyway, you? ------------- "There seem to be quite a large percentage of young American boys out there tonight. A long way from home, eh? Well so are we... Gotta stick together." -I. Anderson |

I considered putting in a "too good to choose one" option, but then I figured why bother. I want CONCRETE answers. ...Even if it's true. ------------- "There seem to be quite a large percentage of young American boys out there tonight. A long way from home, eh? Well so are we...

| When the Music's Over will probably win anyway, so I voted for Love Me Two Times, which is just as amazing. I love the whole album, though. |

"When the Music's Over" for me - probably my fav Doors track together with "The End" and "Riders on the Storm". However, this poll is in the wrong section - it belongs in the PP/PR Lounge .

| People are strange, when you're a stranger. Quite true. A lyrical masterpiece, but aren't they all. I voted for when You're Strange because it is the best in my opinion. |

i am quick to acknowledge their relevance to modern music but IMHO the DOORS really have very little business on this site... ------------- progressive rock and rural tranquility don't match. true or false? |

"Moonlight Drive" gets my vote. I love the lyrics. ------------- "The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side." - HST |

1 - Strange Days - Perfect album opener
2 - When the Music's Over - Perfect album closer
Everything in between is superb, love this album. My favorite along with Waiting for the Sun. ------------- "One likes to believe in the freedom of Music" - Neil Peart, The Spirit of Radio |

i can`t choose one in particular..the all album is amaizing.. also because it reminds me of great times and although "When the music is over" is going to win, i must say that
You're Lost Little Girl and I Can't See Your Face in My Mind are special,very special gems...in my opinion

Could someone please turn out the light, turn out the light, turn out the light. Oh wait a second, the music isn't really over is it?
Dagnabit, you forced me to order a copy. Oh well, I was pondering what I would order for my next "freebie" from the BMG music club. Now I think I can resign it a happy guy. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

A correction for Whistler...It's not "When you're strange" but "People are strange". |

For me When the Music's Over defines 60's psychedlica. The 2 overdubbed
dueling lead guitars is absolutely mind boggling. Also the dynamics of
the heavy big sound versus the butterfly section is like an epic
trip.

Heh, I knows...when I first downloaded said track, I could only find it under the moniker "People are Strange." Must have been a Floydian slip. ------------- "There seem to be quite a large percentage of young American boys out there tonight. A long way from home, eh? Well so are we...

Great album with a very strong opener. I choose When The Musicīs Over though. One of their most daring and best tunes.
