Maybe others can find better/ worser examples, but although I have always liked the pulsing beat of this song, the lyrics always have induced an inadvertent cringe. Word has it that Jim Morrison was a poet, but evidence is scarce. Chances are he knew that "worser" wasn't a word. |

The Doors were just such a "woman" It's best not to intellectualise these things. bravo |

And some of us only heard The Doors when friends would record(tape) the midnight FM ad-free broadcasts and mail em out... The first time I heard the doors, I was laying on smooth parts of a wrecked hood, enjoying the lingering days warmth...and watching the stars rise... Where were you-? bump Hearing the Doors music when it was new was a completely different experience than hearing it today, for the billionth time. Still great, just . . . different . . . sigh. |
Lazarus Feb 08, 2013 - 12:04 | Classic elemental imagery... we are all born into a storm... (especially if you live in Boston right now... soooo apropos...) love it... |
unclehud Jan 30, 2013 - 16:27 | Got an oldie with transparent yellow window in the LP jacket — their images are printed on the cellophane. Seriously, that's why I bought the record; I was too young to actually know about the Doors at the time this came out. Boy, was I taken aback. Owned a bunch more of their records before the end of that summer's job. Edit: And I don't care if you can't appreciate/get/understand/blah/blah/blah. Your loss. |
hidey Jan 20, 2013 - 09:21 | Yes! This is fine music Bill - I will go out to deliver the mail with slightly improved morale... |
apd Jan 16, 2013 - 16:02 | I'm no fan of the Doors, but the seque from Erik Satie was fantastic. |

skooba Nov 18, 2012 - 16:15 | Was never a big Doors fan. So tired of this one. |
ziakut Nov 18, 2012 - 16:13 | Pretentious, self indulgent, prodding and endless. Oh I almost forgot...popular. Go figure. At least this song does project a definite atmosphere...then again...it captured that in the first minute...no need for the next seven. |

This one is a prime example. 7 minutes of noodling around on 3 chords with a dull melody. So what? Every now and then I come across a woman who cannot in one's wildest dreams be described as "beautiful" or "pretty", but she is just incredibly attractive, appealing, sexy. The Doors were just such a "woman" It's best not to intellectualise these things. |
foolsparadise Oct 30, 2012 - 11:33 | June 1971 sitting in my 64 Ford Custom, making out with Gabrielle on a rainy Saturday night. Ahhhhhhhhh the sweet memories. How can I not give this song a 10++ |
TKLAS Oct 30, 2012 - 11:30 | OK RP - Glad you're back on air after Sandy, but this is the 3rd time in as many days I've heard Riders on the Storm and I've just about had enough. Was never a song I really liked, now I'm starting to barf a little in my mouth when I hear it. Love ya! |
