  The Doors (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Released in 1967, The Doors was the debut album by the band The Doors, featuring their breakthrough single "Light My Fire", extended with a substantial instrumental section omitted on the single release, and the lengthy song "The End" with its Oedipal spoken-word section.
The album's dark tone and frontman Jim Morrison's sexual charisma and wild lifestyle influenced much of rock and roll to come.
The album is generally thought of as the band's best work, in addition to being one of the greatest debut albums by any band.

 The Doors - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Doors were unusual among rock groups in that they did not use a bass guitarist in concert, with Manzarek playing the bass lines on a Fender electric keyboard bass, an offshoot of the well-known Fender Rhodes electric piano.
The album features performances recorded on their 1970 American tour and at the 1969 Aquarius Theatre gig and includes a full-length live performance of "The Celebration of the Lizard".
Both albums sold well, but not in the numbers of the Morrison era releases, and the Doors ceased all performing and recording activities at the end of 1972.

The Doors consisted of Jim Morrison as lead vocals, Ray Manzarek on keyboards and back-up vocals, John Densmore on drums and Robby Kreiger on guitar.
Early on, the Doors (who's name was influenced by the William Blake line "If the doors of perception were cleansed, every thing would appear as it is, infinite."), signed with Columbia Records, which at the time was popular because it was Bob Dylan's label.
The Doors' performance was less than fantastic, and Morrison declared to the press that this could very well be his last gig with the band.

Every previous Doors album closed with an epic, and this one was to be the most ambitious of all.
The Doors haven’t aged well, but every note and line from this album like the others is no doubt indelibly etched in the mind of millions of former adolescent males like your humble reviewer.
But the greatest track on this album, arguably the greatest in the Doors repertoire is “The End.”; Easily one of the most unsettling songs to ever be promenaded before an audience this song travels from this world to the unconsciousness and back.

 The Doors
But on the plus side, the Doors had a unique sound; substantial commercial success; and a fler view of the world than any of their contemporaries, except perhaps the Velvet Underground.
The Doors' debut was knocked off in just a couple of studio sessions, but it captures their entire schtick anyway.
Shortly after this, the remaining "Doors" cut two studio albums with Manzarek handling most of the vocals, including Full Circle (1972); both of them were flops, they don't appear to be in print, and I don't have them.

 The Doors
As melody-makers, The Doors stand among the best 60-s groups, close to The Beatles, and, were it not for a few serious stinkers and the general shortness of their career, they would have earned a 5-star rating on my scale.
While the Doors were never a generic blues band, this track showcases, from the very beginning of their career, Jim's ability to assimilate old blues to his own dark, dreadful, terrifying style.
This album was probably released in a flurry, as 1969 didn't seem to be a good year for The Doors, what with Jim's drug additions and obscene behaviour, culminating in the infamous self-exposion bust and subsequent trial.

 The Doors
See, the Doors are just one of those bands that you HAVE to own a complete discography of to have any real credibility as a classic rock buff (and since there are only six albums, you have no excuse).
Fortunately, their second album took the style of the first, weeded out everything bad from the debut, expanded upon and added to that which worked, and in the process created one of the finest albums of all time.
Get this album as soon as you can - as both a perfect farewell to Jim's Doors (he died shortly after the album's release) and a demonstration of what strange ideas can be produced even from a genre as supposedly 'limited' as the blues, it really cannot be topped.

 The Doors - 1000 Great Guitar Sites on the Web
The group never added a bass player, and their sound was dominated by Manzarek's electric organ work and Morrison's deep, sonorous voice, with which he sang and intoned his highly poetic lyrics.
The debut album was a massive hit, and endures as one of the most exciting, groundbreaking recordings of the psychedelic era.
By their third album, they had exhausted their initial reservoir of compositions, and some of the tracks they hurriedly devised to meet public demand were clearly inferior to, and imitative of, their best early work.

The Doors, one of the most influential and controversial rock bands of the 1960s, were formed in Los Angeles in 1965 by UCLA film students
Their first effort was so stellar, in fact, that the Doors were hard-pressed to match it, and although their next few albums contained a wealth of first-rate material, the group also began running up against the limitations of their recklessly disturbing visions.
From the start, the Doors' focus was the charismatic Morrison, who proved increasingly unstable over the group's brief career.

The last official Doors studio album, LA Woman was still high on the charts when, like the "actor out on loan" of its closing track, "Riders on the Storm", Jim Morrison died in a Paris bathtub in the summer of 1971.
This is the Doors' blues album, their best since their 1967 self-titled debut and their last before singer Jim Morrison died in 1971.
Most of the rest of this 1971 album is really blues oriented, with "Love Her Madly" clearly being the best of the bunch, and some of the rest being instantly forgettable.

 Doors Discography at CD Universe
Though the flame was snuffed out too early, the Doors left an indelible footprint on the history of rock and roll with their blend of poetry, heady-but-heavy music, and high rock theater.
The Doors: Ray Manzarek (vocals, organ, bass instrument); Jim Morrison (vocals); Robby Krieger (guitar); John Densmore (drums).
From their debut single, "Light My Fire," to their later recordings such as "Riders on the Storm," the Doors remained consistently intriguing even when their songs didn't, a feat largely credited to Morrison and his violatile personality.

 Amazon.com: Morrison Hotel: Music: The Doors   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The next-to-last Doors album, recorded prior to Jim Morrison's still mystery-shrouded death in a Parisian bathtub, eschewed much of the band's previous penchant for baroque musical, poetic, and philosophical pretensions (this was, after all, the back-to-roots era of the Beatles' Let It Be, the Stones' Let It Bleed, and Dylan's Nashville Skyline).
Both albums are cut from the same cloth in the sense that they are both blues-tinged hard-rock, but "Morrison Hotel," while hardly cheerful, is distinctly less dark, perhaps because the listener knows that Morrison's death is not imminent.
This album was released near the end of the era of the Doors.

 Adrian's Album Reviews : The Doors
After hearing so much about the doors from friends i was delighted when i saw the album for sale at £5 at a record fair.
I haven't heard the album in years, but remember the over-the-top guitar solo in "Down So Long", the bathroom reference in "Cars Hiss", the line about "his brain is squirming like a toad", the whole silliness of "love her madly...meet her daddy"...
The vocals are an obvious point to concentrate on but the album, with the one or two obvious mis-steps, is as good a collection of actual songs as we could realistically have expected from them at this stage.

This is the one that introduced The Doors, and the gifted poet/singer/songwriter Jim Morrison, their enigmatic lead singer, to the world.
The final cut on the album, it underscores the fact that there is much more to The Doors than hard-edged rock.
