Background: The Doors were an American rock band formed in 1965 in Los Angeles, California, with vocalist Jim Morrison, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, guitarist Robby Krieger and drummer John Densmore. They were among the most controversial rock acts of the 1960s, due mostly to Morrison's wild, poetic lyrics and charismatic but unpredictable stage persona. After Morrison's death in 1971, the remaining members continued as a trio until finally disbanding in 1973. They released a string of multi-platinum albums, with 19 Gold, 14 Platinum and 5 Multi-Platinum album awards in the United States alone. Although The Doors' active career ended in 1973, their popularity has persisted. Three of the band's studio albums, including L.A. Woman, were featured in the Rolling Stone list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, In 1993, The Doors were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Trivia: The tour for this album only had two live concerts, since during the second gig Morrison apparently had a breakdown on stage. Midway through the set he slammed the microphone numerous times into the stage floor until the platform beneath was destroyed, then sat down and refused to perform for the remainder of the show. It was three months later that he died.

My two cents: The Doors. They still have so many fans, especially female ones. Their music is great rock, yet not aggressive or anything unpopular but very bluesy and cool. Jim Morrison still is a legend and his unique and dark voice makes the music so special. The sound on this album is well produced, considering the time it was recorded. You can still listen to it without thinking about the sound quality all the time. This is some classic piece of blues rock so sit down and enjoy ;)
