Watching a concert from 1968 from the Doors on one of the cable channels the other night, and I was struck by the similarity of Jim Morrison to Elvis. Why didn't I notice it back in the day? Not that it's a bad thing...

I loved the Doors in the "day". I was listing after Jim Morrison  But this song doesn't give me any fond memories.

Timeless, as in "contains no stylistic references to a specific time period."
Timeless, as in "this song stops my stream of consciousness whenever I hear it."
Timeless, as in "my kids love the Doors, too."
Timeless, as in "40-something years old and still very listenable."

This is a strong track off a fantastic Doors album. Strange Days is their best lp.

I'm a big fan of the Doors but this song sucks!
All I hear is the really obnoxious guitar picking. I don't know if I deslike the mix, the guitar licks or the song in general but I could go a very long time without hearing it again and be quite happy.

Robby Krieger by ~Rock-Spirit
Elke  ©2008-2010 ~Rock-Spirit

This is the band of old The Doors-members Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger. Because mr Manzarek couldn't get away from his beloved keyboards, we couldn't take a picture of him. So here's Robby Krieger, who was just playing 'Love Me Two Times' when I took this picture.

———————————————————————————————————-

Robert Alan "Robby" Krieger was in The Doors with keyboard player Ray Manzarek, drummerJohn Densmore and vocalistJim Morrison. At an early Doors rehearsal Morrison heard Krieger playing bottleneck guitar and initially wanted the technique featured on every song on the first album. Krieger's fingerstyle approach to the electric guitar, eclectic musical tastes, and songwriting helped establish The Doors as a successful rockband in the 1960s. His only singing with the early Doors can be heard on the album The Soft Parade, on the song "Runnin' Blue".

Even without Morrison's voice, the Doors' sound is very distinctive.

when you listen to all of the elements of this song, well, you can hear such a unique melange of ideas.

I love it as it all comes together :)

Well... not really. It's a fantastic album, no question, but it's not really a concept, as there's no real unifying musical or lyrical structure.

Glad to see this one held up pretty well Loved the Doors back when I was young and some hasn't aged as well as others. This one has, methinks.
