This review is for the cd: The Very Best of the Doors by The
Doors. Rating: 5 stars.
Lynyrd Skynyrd has Free Bird. The Eagles have Hotel
California. And Led Zeppelin has Stairway to Heaven. It seems like every
classic rock band has their over the top, get out the lighters, let's go to
rock bliss, song. I submit Light My Fire as The Doors contribution to this
list. Long, majestic, and heart wrenching. Oh, and it rocks hard. With a
keyboard! But then again, when were The Doors ever conventional?
Still one of my favorite bands of the 1960s. They were loud,
rude, and rocking. And Jim Morrison (Vocals) had the charisma of 5 people. He
not only had a great voice, but his lyrics truly are poetry. They are dark to
be sure. But they also cherish a sliver of optimism somewhere in each line.
This is a great CD to get if you have never really had much
to do with The Doors. All of their hits are here, with a good mix of some songs
that might have been lesser known. And my favorite Door's song of all time is
on here too. People Are Strange. Indeed they are. Excellent set and it needs to
be in every rock fans collection.
