The Doors

Rolling Stone Rank: 42

Totally on a roll here, three reviews in like three days. Or wait, it could be that I'm that bored...
Jim Morrison. Two words, two simple words. Yet it is these two words that divides many a music fan. In fact one could say it divides people as a whole. Which are you?

I like the Doors, I think this album should be way higher on the list. Jim Morrison is a poet, who left the world too early. Much like his other "27-year-old-musicians-who-died-too -young", Hendrix and Cobain, The world is worse off without his influence. He is a fascinating character, filled with drama, intrigue. All that good stuff. Oh hey, watch The Doors too. Great movie, but that's a whole 'nother divisive subject...

Of course there are the predictable singles, but there isn't another song comparable to The End. The perfect ending to a close to perfect album. Capturing that west coast sound, that they spent years crafting.

How do you feel about it. Take acid and listen to it, just kidding. Although, I could imagine that making it sound better. Actually, I'm thinking that's what did ol' Jim in.

On a lighter note, have a good week kiddos.
