Give 'em Enough Rope

With all the public forums for me to speak my mind, I'm bound to say something stupid.

The Doors are overrated.

There are so many things wrong with Jim Morrison and company (most of their problems are on prominent display in the song “The End”). One of the reasons why I can’t stand classic rock radio is because of their insistence to play crap like “Light My Fire” and “Break On Through” all the damn time.

With that, I do think that there are some really great songs by The Doors. Not many, but a  few.  So, I’m going to rank the best songs from The Doors (and maybe I’ll say why I think they are the best in some future post.  Maybe).

  1. “LA Woman”
  2. “The Soft Parade”
  3. “Alabama Song”
  4. “Peace Frog”
  5. “Soul Kitchen”
  6. “Back Door Man”
  7. “The Crystal Ship”
  8. “People are Strange”

And “20th Century Fox” isn’t bad either.  But it’s not that great either.

And just to compare, the 8 worst songs from The Doors:

  1. “The End”
  2. “Light My Fire”
  3. “Break On Through”
  4. “Touch Me”
  5. “Hello, I Love You”
  6. “Love Me Two Times”
  7. “Love Her Madly”
  8. “Roadhouse Blues”
