The Doors

Do I need to say more? One of my favorite bands and one of rock's best groups ever. They emerged in the mid 60's, in the LA psychedelic scene. They experimental style combined blues, psychedelia and rock to create a unique experience. Their vocalist/lyricist, Jim Morrison, was a great frontman.


My favorite albums have to be the first two, the self-titled and Strange Days; somehow later they either abused the formula or did a lot of experimentation (this doesn't mean that it was bad, though). Finally, in 1971, Jim Morrison died mysteriously.


My Top 5:

5. Roadhouse Blues
4. We Could Be So Good Together
3. Peace Frog
2. People Are Strange
1. Break on Through (To the Other Side)

  2. Well, Jimmy Morrison is a concept! Everyone should listen to classics atleast once in my opinion. So atleast they know what their music emerged from.
