Not everyone, I'm sure, to paraphrase the Velvets song. But for those who do, what's your favorite LP? I've just recently dug into my collection and pulled out Doors stuff I've kind of forgotten about, and I find I love those first few Doors albums. The first two are really dark and trippy.

Indeed I do. But I'm on the level about this. I think.

The Doors don't do much for me these days, but I used to love Absolutely Live.

They didn't do anything for me for a long time either. Even back in their day when I first bought their albums. But don't you have those albums you pull out and go, eh, I'll give em another go, and suddenly, it's like wham! you connect to something? That's the way it's been with the Doors. I took out the first LP last fall just for a lark, and I had that Wow! moment, went on to try Strange Days, and it was like, what was I thinking all this time, I love this stuff.
Put them away for a while, took them out again recently, and they still hold up for me.

They annoy me. But not as much as people who tell me they're 'avant-garde' or other such bollocks.

Yeah, I hardly think they're avant-garde, or ever were. Patti Smith purported to get off on them, and that's as good an endorsement as any I could want to hear.

Haino has mentioned in loads of interview that 'when the music stopped' (or something like that) made him want to be a musician.
Doesn't mean I like them though. My broadside wasn't directed at anyone here, by the way, I've just met a lot of people in real life (remember that?) who have insisted that I'm wrong about the Doors. Interestingly, they tend to also be Zappa fans.

I don't listen much to them anymore, but I use to. I'll go for the first one because it starts with a bang!
You know the day destroys the night Night divides the day Tried to run Tried to hide Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah I also think that the Soft parade and the live stuff is/was good. ps: I miss Pookie's anti-Jim avatar, by the way.

My perspective on the Doors has changed. I think why I didn't like them when I was younger was that I thought they wanted to be taken seriously. They did, of course, but not they way I was thinking, that they intended something "heavy" on the face of their music. What I've realized is that they were poking fun of the "heavy" side of the 1960s; their genius lies in this, that they could seemingly fit into that 1960s counterculture while also criticizing it by mocking it in their music. That's what I think their music is really about--a critique of American society in general but also a critique--through parody of the rock music they've chosen as their art form--of the excesses of 1960s counterculture.
