Editorial Review:
The Best of The Doors delivers exactly what it promises. Rather than relying solely on the hits, this collection also mines the darker, and often richer, recesses of The Doors material resulting in a fairly representative statement. The hits are here: "Light My Fire" with Ray Manzarek's keyboards on a dizzy, psychedelic spree; "People Are Strange," with Morrison's tortured psyche barely being held in check; "L.A. Woman," with its bluesy sexuality. More important, favorites of fans are here, like the controversially (at the time) explicit "The End," which was one of the first of Morrison's forays into narrative poetry. In hits like "Break on Through," "Hello I Love You," "Roadhouse Blues," and others, The Doors melded psychedelia, blues, hard-edged rock, and poetry from the edge like no other band before. The Best of The Doors is a trip in every sense of the word. --Steve Gdula

Good Songs= Good Band
2008-11-30 - Good songs on here why did they stop making it or inleast using the new versions of songs, get the used version while it lasts
Ish. They still stink....
2008-11-07 - Alright, I'm just gonna come out and say it. JM sucked. He spent most of his creative life in a drug and alcohol induced stupor while conning his vapid lyrics and self-indulgent poetry off on his fellow hippie brethren as art. His poetic ability reaches its height with his rhyming of the words road and toad. He loved to play into that whole Lizard King garbage while in reality he was nothing more than a cheesy cornball pervert. Put this album on and you can smell the stale pot, mold spores and cheap incense blow out of your speakers.
Riding On The Storm ~ Activating The Libidinal Forces Within The Mystical, Musical Body
2008-11-02 - Probably the most amazing thing about music is its ability to speak to different aspects of the inner self. It can inspire one to lofty ecstatic visions, elicit fits of joyous laughter, plummet one into the depths of melancholy and despair just to name a few. When I listen to the music and lyrics of `The Doors' something always kicks into motion that is unique to this band, to give this dark, overshadowing feeling a name I'll label it "libidinal energy", all the while understanding that I'm writing about a power that far beyond the confines of labels and categories.
If you're a fan of their music you know exactly what I'm talking about. Their music is hypnotic, invigorating, maddening and transformative. If you've ever seen footage of Jim Morrison gyrating about the stage while performing you've had a glimpse of that power. Don't you experience the desire to do the same thing when you're listening to their music, I do. There has been nothing like it before the advent of `The Doors' and nothing since their demise. If you don't know what I'm talking about or if you're already a believer who simply can't get enough you need to get the two-disc compilation `The Best of the Doors' containing as the title suggests the best of this legendary band.
One of the Rock Essentials.
