From my use of the word "album," you can see I'm not a young guy. I didn't listen to The Doors when they were making records (too young), but I got into them when interest renewed in the late 1970's (Apocalypse Now soundtrack, etc.).
I think this is my favorite by far. Very straightforward, and not so very dark like the others. Sounds good in the car. The first three, you have to be in the mood for - they may be better "art" but they can be disturbing! Not for the casual listen. Morrison Hotel is pretty good too, and Soft Parade has its moments.
Am I just getting old, and conventional? I'm not a "rebel" anymore. "Mother, I want to - - - YAAAAAH!" just doesn't fit so well into the afternoon commute.
Flame away, as I know many people consider L.A. Woman their worst. Or just reminisce about your favorite listening experiences! Maybe I can then listen anew, myself.
I'm just curious, and sitting here procrastinating at work. Just like YOU!

It was the group's last album, nevertheless, I think the Doors' first album was the best. "The End," "The next whisky bar," and "Light My Fire," are all classics. L.A. Women is one of the Door's best album in my opinion, but not the best. Interesting group considering guitarist and lyricist Robby Krieger and keyboard and music writer Ray Manzarek were the true music talent behind the band, and Jim Morrison's talent was stage performance as the frontman.

Personal fave is Morrison Hotel, don't know why just memories. When albums are in the right place at the right time, they turn into personal gems.
