The Doors, favourite song

People Are Strange, Riders On The Storm or Break On Through.

 

The Crystal Ship

 

For me it's LA Woman.

 

Soul Kitchen!

When I was last in Amsterdam I was overjoyed to find this "coffee" shop... no prizes for guessing the music played and what pictures were on the wall!

 

Touch Me.

 

There are two. Btw, there is a spectacular herring booth right across the street from this pic.

 

Two!? Any excuse for a return visit

 

I had two book signings in Amsterdam last November for my third novel. Love Amsterdam.

 

Riders On The Storm.

 

I'll go with "My Eyes Have Seen You," the only number that self-identifies as one of the "rooftop songs."

I also love the line "fix your hair/move upstairs."

 

Crystal Ship, Yes The River Knows, LA Woman

 

Riders on the Storm

 

Light My Fire. A game changer.

 

You're Lost Little Girl

2 -- The End
3 -- Light My Fire (long version)
4 -- The Crystal Ship (the 45 single rules!)
5 -- Hyacinth House
6 -- Wishful Sinful (the 45 single rules!)
7 -- When the Music's Over
8 -- L.A. Woman
9 -- Not to Touch the Earth
10 -- Alabama Song (Whisky Bar)

.

 

Wishful Sinful is #6 on my list... the 7' 45 single rules!

.

 

It's a tie between "Five to One" and "Waiting For the Sun". There's that metal riff in the pre-chorus that I just love.

 

The Crystal Ship

 

The crystal ship
Who scared you
The changeling
Wintertime love
Spanish caravan

 

Shaman's Blues

 

"Spanish Caravan" is fantastic!
Probably their best deep cut. Robbie was incredible playing Flamenco and I love the second part where the synth (?) comes in and it gets psychedelic.

My favourite track has to be "Waiting For The Sun" which has a hypnotic effect on me.

Oh and about 20 more songs.

 

L.A. Woman

(runner-up: The End, The Changeling)

 

Where do you think you are?!! Someone report Terry to the nearest Gort.

 

I still love "Light My Fire". A great collaboration...a great song son Robby, a great performance from Jim, probably one of the most recognizable keyboard parts ever from Ray and great drumming from John. Still sounds great.

 

The End

The gypsies had no homes, the Doors had no bass.

 

My favorite is "You're Lost, Little Girl", but "Riders on The Storm" is a close second.

Speaking of which, one of my favorite Youtube videos: Ray explaining how "Riders" got written and put together (with a brief cameo by Robby).
