They are good, anyone like them?

They have some amazing songs, but most of their stuff blows.

I like all six of the albums........I could've sworn we had another thread about this earlier as I remember typing something about 'The Soft Parade'.........but yeah, one of the best catalogs of all time.

number14 starts threads like none other.

the doors rock, but some stuff from their middle period is kinda shitty.

I really like them, except for the really bluesy songs. I don't like blues.

"Waiting for the Sun" wasn't a great album, but it wasn't "shitty" imo......and the other five are holy classics of awesomeness.

Waiting for the Sun is their best album.

The first album is great.  Then my favorite songs on the other albums include "LA Woman," "Roadhouse Blues," and "Peace Frog."  

You have to admire Ray M. for playing those bass lines on his organ on some of their stuff, but I think they were a better band when they used real bass.

Yeah, I think his organ usually sounded a little too thin because he had to play it with just one hand.

What do you all think of the Soft Parade album? I read a lot of bad reviews for it, but I think it's a pretty good album.

Here's a rundown of the "Door's Career" short form! Ray meets Jimmy on a beach in Sothern Calif they talk and form the Doors! First Lp stunning "Light My Fire" all time classic song. The rest of the LP great also! "People Are Strange" LP a liitle more out there lyrically and musically! Outstanding songs People Are Strange, Moonlight Mile. Next up "Waiting For The Sun" another stunning song which gets little recognition "Unknown Soldier" (Government didn't like it) War protest song! Morrison's Hotel incredible song called "Roadhouse Blues" great rock/blusey song! Suddenly the establishment has a "H-ON" for Jim and the Doors can't get gigs anywhere? LA Woman LP gives us "Riders On The Storm!!!" another awesome song!!! Live LP in there also double captures Doors sound and is good! AS a band they allways had that 1 hit off each LP which kept their name going!! Big AM hits  Light MY Fire, Hello I Love You, Tell All The People, and Riders On The Storm! They leave their mark on the music scene with a style never duplicated! Didn't hurt that their singer had the most carismatic stage presence of any guy just short of "Elvis!"

Same here, great album. I like it more than "Waiting For The Sun" and "Morrison Hotel"...

I used to like "Riders on the Storm" but one time in college I caught a ride from Chapel Hill to Nashville with this guy--they're were six of us in the car--and he insisted on listening to the "LA Woman" album over and over again.  It was his car.  

Somehow hearing "Riders" about fifty times over the course of 10 hours was just too much for me.  It's a great song, but I have to change the radio channels when I hear that thunder clap at the beginning.

Luckily I never got tired of "LA Woman."
