                     All-Music Guide Biography

 An American rock band consisting of Jim Morrison (vocals), Robbie
 Krieger (guitar), John Densmore (drums), and Ray Manzarek (organ and
 keyboard bass). Starting as a frat/R&B band on campus at UCLA, they
 evolved into something resembling performance art under the sway of
 poet and vocalist Morrison. His lyrics, free-form associations, and
 demonic stage energy were startling to pop audiences of the time,
 earning the band much chart success and a devoted following. When
 Morrison died in 1971, the band became a legendary icon of its time,
 one that has continued unabated thanks to their frequent rotation on
 classic-rock-format radio and to Oliver Stone's film based on their
 career. ~ Cub Koda

 Just about everything the first-time buyer could want by this
 legendary 60s band -- two CDs, no filler. ~ Jeff Tamarkin

 A well-chosen, 19-track compilation balancing the radio hits with the
 longer, more complex song poems. It's a good sampler (and contains
 enough of the good tracks from STRANGE DAYS that we didn't bother to
 list that album separately), but this is one group for whom you need
 to hear the whole story. ~ William Ruhlmann

 The foundation on which the legend was built -- their first album. No
 one sounded like them then, no one has since. A rock classic. ~ Jeff
 Tamarkin

 One of the most remarkable debut albums in rock history introduced the
 powerful singing of Jim Morrison, his provocative lyrics, and the
 group's spare, direct guitar/organ sound. "Light My Fire" became an
 instant standard but the album also contained such Doors classics as
 "Break On Through (To the Other Side)," "Twentieth Century Fox," and,
 of course, that Oedipal odyssey "The End." (DCC Compact Classics has a
 gold disc that offers superior fidelity.) ~ William Ruhlmann

 The Doors could be erratic live, as this double CD shows. Still, it's
 a fair example of their in-concert charms. ~ Jeff Tamarkin

 Although I'm a strong and unapologetic supporter of Jim Morrison -- I
 think he was one of rock and roll's most charismic and distinctive
 vocalists -- what we get here is a man in a state of artistic and
 physical disintegration. I think it's fair to say that not a single
 track ... wasn't performed better on the studio LPs, making this set
 redundant and worthless. 2 discs. ~ Tom Graves, Rock & Roll Disc.

 Their last album with Morrison, this was something of a comeback. The
 title track and "Riders on the Storm" remain favorites. ~ Jeff
 Tamarkin

 Morrison's final testament shows him at the height of his ability to
 bring striking images to the lyrics of rock music, and the group
 produces some of its most trancelike music. ~ William Ruhlmann

 ------- AMG Album Reviews -------
 An underrated, if at time pretentious, album. The title suite is
 ambitious. ~ Jeff Tamarkin

 Probably the most underrated Doors collection because the addition of
 horns and strings ("Wishful Sinful") turns it into a more exploratory
 album than their more basic music usually attempted. But "Tell All the
 People" is the group at its most revolutionary, and the long title
 track is among its most ambitious. This included the hit "Touch Me" as
 well as "Wild Child," one of their best rockers. ~ William Ruhlmann

 ------- AMG Album Reviews -------
 While their third album includes some of their best known songs, it
 also has a few throwaways. ~ Jeff Tamarkin

 Singles like "Hello, I Love You" and "The Unknown Soldier" are on THE
 BEST OF THE DOORS (see below), but many of the standouts on this album
 are gentle songs like "Summer's Almost Gone," "Yes, the River Knows,"
 and "Wintertime Love," which demonstrate that Morrison & Co. can be
 lyrical without losing their power. ~ William Ruhlmann
