The Doors, had the one thing that no other band in the world had – James Douglas Morrison. With a style of their own and an unmatched stage presence, the band has undoubtedly left their mark in the world of music. Here’s a look at some of their best works…
Break On Through
Break On Through was the band’s first track from their self-titled debut album. Under two and a half minutes, the song was the commencement of the band’s psychedelic onslaught.
The Crystal Ship
The Crystal Ship was the band’s slow and eerie number, which is still capable of sending shivers down people’s spine, even after so many years of being released.
The End
Considered by many as the songs that made the band THE DOORS, the showcases the brilliance of Jim Morrison and the innovative fretwork of Robby Krieger who brings in his own taste of eastern music with the use of exotic scales.
Light My Fire
Light My Fire is probably the first song to pop in mind when one thinks about The Doors, and rightly so. The song gives reason enough to prove that the instrument section of the band was unfairly buried under Morrison’s presence.
Strange Days
Strange Days was the title track of the 1967 album, which although a commercial disaster was an artistic gem. Ray Manzarek is considered a genius, and this track provides enough reasons why.
When The Music’s Over
When The Music’s Over, is often an overlooked number from the Doors, which is unfortunate considering it showcases the unique talents of the individual members all in prime form.
The Unknown Soldier
The 60s was a period of change, a period when artists felt the need to express their disapproval of futile wars. The Vietnam War was a favorite target of rock stars of the age. The Unknown Soldier would be one of the most unique takes on the war in Vietnam.
