Description: The year is 1967, and we open THE DOOR on this year with a brand-new studio debut from this group lead by frontman Jim Morrison. This release features the single "Light My Fire" and the ever popular lengthy tune "The End." Their ever popular single "Light My Fire" has since been inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame as of 2015 along with the group. The album has also been included in the National Recording Registry for Cultural, Artistic, or Historical significance. 

Favorite Track: Light My Fire

Reason: I'm a sucker for a good Organ keyboard solo-istic intro song. The song has a great opener sound. This single from the album shows off its jazzy rhythms and instrumentals. It rides that fun line between jazz and Latin styling so well. Another great feature is the wonderful bluesy rock solo from the guitar in the middle. Then it leads right back into the classy keyboard intro. This song is a must for any fan of The Doors or Experimental 60s Jazz Rock.

Album Rating: 9.1/10

This album is an all-time classic! I love The Doors for everything they are. Being their debut release, this record has it all. It explores so many genres and moods of music. The keys are clearly the big focal point for the group. With this all said, this album is all that the 60s brought to the table. It has that mysterious vibe that all chill rockers want, and all upbeat jazz rock enthusiasts love! Definitely a must for anyone looking for that classic Morrison vibe and tone!
