Their debut (The Doors) could have been released last year and no one would have known what period it came from. The lyrics are just as current today, and some groups today are adopting the Doors sound. The Doors opens with the funky, yet perplexing 'Break On Through', that could be about an astral trip, or losing ones virginity. 'Soul Kitchen' is quite sexual. One of my favourite tracks is the gentle 'Crystal Ship'. 'Twentieth Century Fox' is a piss-take at fashion. Kurt Weill's 'Alabama Song' gets a a face lift. Possibly one of the greatest, and most potent sexual pop anthem ever conceived is Robbie Krieger's 'Light My Fire'. 'Back Door Man' is a blues classic that was written by Willie Dixon and Howlin' Wolf, and Jim makes it his own. 'I Looked At You' is another soft-pop song. Like 'The Crystal Ship', 'End Of The Night' is quite dreamy and psychedelic. 'Take It As It Comes' is self explainitry. Anyone who saw Apocrolypse Now will remember 'The End'. Classic!

Morrison Hotel is an album in two parts (Hard Rock Cafe/Morrison Hotel), and opens with the raunchy 'Roadhouse Blues'. 'Waiting For The Sun' is dynamic with it's thundering passages. I really love the lazy blues of 'The Spy', and walking basslines of 'Maggie McGill' that features Lonnie Mack on bass, and G. Puglese on harmonica. Morrison Hotel also features 'Ship Of Fools', 'Land Ho', 'You Make Me Real', 'Peace Frog', 'Blue Sunday', 'Indian Summer', and 'Queen Of The Highway' that was dedicated to Jim's wife Pam.
