This is not a decision informed by any sort of real knowledge of their catalogue, and purely on the merits of <em>Forever Changes</em>. I know <em>Forever Changes</em> is a safe and cliched choice, but it really is unique, evocative and brilliant. I actually thought it was shit at first, with half-baked songs and too much reliance on strings and production window dressing. How wrong I was. Could never be bothered with the Doors though. The stench of novelty band always seemed to hang over them for me. For what it’s worth, Love.

So great!!! <em>Forever Changes</em> in my book is a great psychedelic album of the 60s, Arthur Lee a Beautiful Madman. Funny too I was talking on the phone yesterday about footage of Morrison's Bearded Years being shown on VH1 Classics and Yes the Doors are Great Well Known American Rock band but as I think do I repeat listen to any of their albums Nope! Love Yes! “then it was my turn to hem and haw, saying they were both great in their own way, and trying to not piss anyone off until I got my new vinyl safely out of their store.” So great!!!
