Not as talented as Robbie Krieger, but still a very good musician.
And LA Woman is one of the best albums of the 60's.

I don't much care for The Doors. but if I had to pick their best album of the 60s it would be "Strange Days". "LA Woman" though was released in April 1971.

So it was. Whatever, it's their best album.

A moot point. 'Strange Days' is my favourite Doors; 'LA Woman' second best. I like 'SD' because it has 'Love Me Two Times' on it, the first Doors tune I ever heard in 1967.
The worst Doors LP made during Morrison's lifetime was 'Soft Parade'

LA Woman is the only Doors album I don't have on vinyl, I have them all on CD. I've just rectified that by ordering the vinyl online.
Side one of Strange Days is peerless if we break it down to album sides, but LA Woman is the better album overall imo.

wicked sound manzarek got on his fender rhodes & vox organs, quite revolutionary to have the basslines played that way - never better than on 'break on through'. 'love me two times' is a great shout also. I don't have any doors in the house (as it were) but the tunes are burned into me from an intense listening period as a teenager. like all of the band manzarek was poorly served by the bio-pic, in his case by agent cooper of twin peaks in a preposterous wig. RIP.

As a regular visitor to Swing Easy Towers, I can confirm that the house is open plan and, as Toby says, there are no doors in the house!

I was hooked on the Doors from the time I heard them in my early teens. The menacing Five to One was an early favourite as was Queen of the highway but that had more to do with my girlfriend at the time. Both of us shared the same dream one night and that song was the sound track, I kid you not. I may have a couple of albums on cassette but I shed my Doors vinyl along time ago. I liked both the first album and the second equally. Great keyboardi player Manzarek, I agree with MSE on the film. Songs flooding through my head as I write, Spanish Caravan, Love Stree, LA Woman, Break on Through, yeh, yeh, yeh

During my "mad as a box frogs" years I cycled back to North Wales from Malvern Hills in Gloucestershire because I hadn't listen to the Doors for 3 days.If there had been such a thing as an ipod in 1981 my life would have been a breeze.

My vinyl copy of LA Woman came today. A steal at £8.99. The Doors should be heard in analog, their music suffers a bit in CD form.
