    i have always liked them, grew up listening to them through my brother and sisters. i have to be in the right mood to hear them. my favorites are indian summer, soft parade, end of the night, queen of the highway, spanish caravan, love street... too many good songs to list.

    They are in my second fav of all time!
    I have read so many books on them, more than any other band.

    Wow I forgot how much I love that line!
    My new signature!
    Alot of my friends break my balls b/c they were all dead heads and I loved the doors. We would battle alot. Why can't you like both like me?
    The doors box set is great.
    Check out the acoustic version of "Hyacinth House" Fucking awesome!
    I would love for Eddie to play that on his guitar.
    Wow, would that be cool or what?

    They are truly great...

    Very influential.

    If their music was released today it would sell and be popular. Thats a sign of a great band!

    Their self titled album, Morrison Hotel and L.A. Woman are some of my favourite records ever. Simply an amazing band.

    Any of you guys own any Doors dvd?

    I don't have any of their dvd's (yet) but I did tape something off of from the tv...which included an amazing version of 'The End' performed in 1969 in Toronto.

    WOW! :eek: That version was something else!

    The Doors are one of the greatest bands of all time. I got to see the Doors of the 21st Century (with the awesome Ian Astbury on vocals) recently and I was blown away. Im sure its only a fraction of what they were back then and that makes me wish I had had the chance to see them.
    I've faced it, a life wasted, and I'm never going back again.

    Some die just to live.

    Yes. I have "The Doors Collectors Addition." (I believe its called.) Jam packed with good shit. Interviews, rare videos, back stage footage, live footage. Really awesome. Plus there is an option to hear audio commentary on the footage from the surviving Doors. Very cool.

    I absolutely LOVE The Doors. Jim was a fucking genius. How the hell can anyone not love their unique sound and their poetic lyrics.

    Cool rock n roll.
    Not a massive fan. I only own the best of the doors but they're style is unique and Jim Morrison looked like he would be a cool dude.
    You girls out there must go crazy over his pictures.

    i spent the "summer of love" in a small town in north dakota and there was an arcade there, a teen club if you will, and located therein was a juke box.

    and it was in that club, during a winning run on a pin ball machine, that i first heard "Light My Fire" .. fucking amazing, just fucking amazing.

    and the rest is now history :)

    my favorite album, Soft Parade

    Runnin' Blues -

    Poor otis dead and gone
    Left me here to sing his song
    Pretty little girl with the red dress on
    Poor otis dead and gone

    Yeah, back down, turn around slowly
    Try it again, remembering when
    It was easy, try it again
    Much to easy, rememberin’ when

    All right, look at my shoes
    Not quite the walkin’ blues
    Don’t fight, too much to lose
    Can’t fight the runnin’ blues

    Well, I’ve got the runnin’ blues
    Runnin’ away, back to l.a.
    Got to find the dock of the bay
    Maybe find it back in l.a.

    Runnin’ scared
    Runnin’ blue
    Goin’ so fast
    What’ll I do

    Well, I’ve got the runnin’ blues
    Runnin’ away, back to l.a.
    Got to find the dock of the bay
    Maybe find it back in l.a.

    All right, look at my shoes
    Not quite the walkin’ blues
    Don’t fight, too much to lose
    Can’t fight the runnin’ blues

    All right, look at my shoes
    Not quite the walkin’ blues
    Don’t fight, too much to lose
    Can’t fight the runnin’ blues
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    yeah, it's a fucking great version and would be done perfectly by ed. Whoever asked if the doors of the 21st century are good, the answer is yes. Ian Astbury does a pretty good job on the vocals and the music is incredible. go and see them if you can.
