Meet The Doors … Again!

Another Tuesday and another debut album. This week, we’re presenting the 1967 debut of The Doors. It has sold over 20 million copies, and has been rightfully inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
The Doors was a tremendous debut album, one of the best first-time outings in rock history, introducing the band’s fusion of rock, blues, classical, jazz, and poetry with a knock-out punch. “Light My Fire” was the cut that topped the charts and established the group as stars, but most of the rest of the album is just as impressive, including some of their best songs: the propulsive “Break On Through” (their first single), the beguiling Oriental mystery of “The Crystal Ship,” the mysterious “End Of The Night,” “Take It As It Comes” (one of several tunes besides “Light My Fire” that also had hit potential), and the stomping rock of “Soul Kitchen” and “Twentieth Century Fox.”
The 11-minute Oedipal drama “The End” was the group at its most daring and, some would contend, overambitious. It was nonetheless a haunting cap to an album whose nonstop dynamic tension would never be equaled by the group again, let alone bettered.
Here it is … The Doors  in its entirety.
