I absolutely love this song. 8 and a half minutes of pure genius. The song is so varied aswell. I'd say this songs sums up The Doors well. Give it a listen gimptoids.
The Doors

Also does anybody else think American Prayer is a brilliant album? The poetry in it is amazing and some of the Solo's are superb.
Think it is brilliant.

I envy you lad.
I remember when I first discovered the Doors, it was a defining moment in my musical journey.

What else are you listening to then?
Edit: Not the Doors.

They really are brilliant. In fact in the 2 months or so I've been listening to them my opinion of Oasis has totally changed. They're no longer the god-like band I thought of them to be. In fact a lot of the stuff I have listened to after listening to The Doors is very average.
What's your favourite song/album of theirs?
I almost want to say I told you so
Favorite song too tough to answer, fav albums, debut and LA Women for me.
Other bands I meant, you missed my edit.
Well, I've been listening to some Metallica over the last few days, they are excellent from the few songs I've listened to. Bloc Party too, though I think a lot of their stuff is hit and miss. And then of course the legendary Jimi Hendrix.
I plan to give Nirvana a listen after your last post in the thread too.
I almost want to say I told you so
Go on, just say it, get it over and done with!
I think would probably edge for Morrison Hotel over The Doors. But they're all great in their own way.
What Metallica you listening too?
I've only listened to a few of their songs, I'd like to dedicate a whole weekend of listening to them though
The songs I've listened to so far are Nothing Else Matters, One, The Unforgiven and St Anger. Really enjoyed them all, particularly Nothing Else Matters.
Nah, the fact that you got there in the end is all that counts. It's just a natural progression that all music fans go through. I mean, I was a fecker for it when I was younger, very closed off from other types of music, but the older you get the more varied your tastes become. I listen to all types of music now, dipping into most genres, I find there are gems in most forms of music if you are willing to look.
As for The Doors, it was the album that got me into them, so will always be my favorite, plus it has The End on it, so I guess that probably answers your fav track question too.

Forget that St Anger bollox, infact forget anything that came after the Black album. Master of Puppets and Justice are both great with the Black album being the most accessable of the three. New album, Death Magnetic, is a slight return to form also, some decent tracks on that, surprised the shit out of me tbh, never though I'd hear another decent Met album ever again.
It's time to get your head around Radiohead now methinks.
Start off with The Bends and see how you go

I can remember having conversations with you in which you said the exact same thing and I laughed it off. Now who looks like the idiot! (Again!)
Yeah, The End is one of my favourites too. There are so many though, guess it kind of depends which mood you are in.
I'll download Black Album tomorrow and give it a go, thanks

You know, I have listen to OK Compuer 3 times now and each time I just can't bring myself round to like it. I just don't get what all the fuss is about!
But I'll give The Bends a go, if they really are as great as you make them out to be I won't regret it.
You know how high I rate them, they are THE most important band of our generation, there is no other band currently recording that even comes close to them. In years to come they will be remembered the same as the Beatles, Pink Floyd etc.
True pioneers.
BTW, get some Pink Floyd too.
'Dark Side of the Moon' and 'Wish You Were Here' are a good place to start.

I like The Beatles, never really gave Pink Floyd a listen though. That is sure to change soon though
Listening to the former as we speak
Think I just heard the bell, class is dismissed for tonight, I need to sleep.
Later.
Later.
As ever, it was great talking to you.
That solo in DSotM is amazing

RedNome just so you know, BaldwinLegend deleted a post calling Radiohead massively, MASSIVELY overrated and called Metallica shite.
Oh yes he did.

The Bends is amazing. I actually rate it higher then OK computer.
You should check out bands like Sonic Youth, The Cure & Refused.
Check out Led Zeppelin as well.. albums II, IV and Physical Graffiti
His IQ was 147 as a teenager iirc.
Piss of Lizard what the hell do you know.
I am of course only joking x

That is fecking brilliant.
Despite it being over 11 minutes long, I wish The End never did end. It flies by and is my favourite song of all time ever.
I'd highly recommend the Jim Morrison scrapbook for coolness alone.
I've just pre-ordered my copy of the Doors live at the Matrix 1967. This is one of the earliest shows recorded before they made it really big

Fancy pre-ordering me one too, seeing as I am broke?
Fancy eating my shit?
There was a PBS interview with him in 1969 which is on the DVD "The Doors: Soundstage Performances) in which Jim says he can foresee in coming years a person creating music using computers or machinery on their own, in their own home even. Off the top of my head I can't remember exactly what he said but he was spot on to be fair. Prince was probably the first to do that, correct me if I'm wrong someone!
He was a bit of a visionary.
By the way, there will be a Doors documentary coming out (hopefully early 2009) and it will be brilliant. I'm hoping there will be lots of unseen footage
There is SO much rare/unheard live recordings from the Doors it's unreal but the Doors have a policy of not paying for their old recordings which is sad but I understand in a way. I have lots of bootlegs of live shows but I'd love to hear soundboard recordings in good quality
Also, there should be a CD coming out with some outtakes from their albums. Including the never heard before Paris Blues hopefully *prays to God*
It's fecking awesome being a Doors fan

I wish I could be arsed to tell you about how many things will be happening in the coming years. I only wish I'd been alive to see them live, makes me really upset
