That's some heavy shit, man. The Doors fuckin' nailed it with their debut, no question. It's like they grabbed rock by the balls and twisted it into this dark, trippy masterpiece. "Light My Fire" is a goddamn anthem, but those fucks went deep with tracks like "The Crystal Ship." It's all poetry and chaos, wrapped up in Morrison's wild-ass voice. And "The End," man, that's some next-level mindfuckery. It's like they took a damn risk and it paid off, even if some pricks thought it was too out there. You dig the whole Oedipal trip they were on with that one? What's your take on how they mixed all that bluesy, jazzy shit with rock? You think they were onto something, or just high as fuck and struck gold?

I always listen to this album every July 3rd. It's practically a ritual at this point.

Floyd fan, I agree. You could make the argument that the pinnacle of the classic rock era was bookended by the release of those two records.

Great energy, but still a bit rough around the edges. Great debut with some amazing songs, but they improved upon it.

I'm only 51 years late in listening to this for the first time but I'm glad i did. Not many albums can i say this but you can feel this album rather than just hear it. So soul filled. A trip all on it's own.

One of the aspects of this album that is largely overlooked is Robby Krieger's guitar playing, very clear guitar tone.
