As a journalist, he was responsible for me liking Sonic Youth, Butthole Surfers, Big Black & many other American bands you hardly heard about in the UK in the early 80's.

Isn't that the Matt Groening compiled cd that came out a few years ago and there was a series of them with sleeves all designed by the great Savage Pencil?

Savage Pencil is great. He was a complete cock when I tried to talk to him though. Just a total, total twat.

I was the other (first) person that voted the debut.

It was a series of CD's, but this one was actually compiled by Savage Pencil.

Yes, wasnt quite sure wich one is wich.Do you have it?

Pookie · 09.07.2006, 11:00 AM

Yes I do, and a lovely little thing it is too.

porkmarras · 09.07.2006, 11:01 AM

The only thing that i remember about that Groening one is that it had,i think,Royal Trux on it.

The debut is great. Strange Days is like the debut only slightly more psychedelic, and darker. Plus I love that cover--the Doors appear only in that poster in the background.

krastian · 09.07.2006, 02:36 PM

It's all about Strange Days for me.....The Doors have been one of my favorite bands since I was a child and fell in love with music. I love everything and have a buttload of boots.

gmku · 09.07.2006, 02:55 PM

I've been wondering about Waiting for the Sun. Haven't heard it, wondering if it's worth adding to the collection. Seems to create some division of opinion among Doors fans.

krastian · 09.07.2006, 03:12 PM

Oh hell yeah man, get it ASAP....Love Street! Summer's Almost Gone! Yes, the River Knows! Not to Touch the Earth! YES YES YES!!!!

kingcoffee · 09.07.2006, 03:21 PM

I fuckin love the Doors!!! I used to get stoned and listen to them all the time. Ah, the good ol' days.

gmku · 09.07.2006, 03:43 PM

Welp, those last two endorsements are good enough fer me, then!

Iain · 09.07.2006, 03:47 PM

Also, NO! Emphatically. A handful of good songs. Mostly utter cock!

atari 2600 · 09.07.2006, 03:47 PM

Not to Touch the Earth is a kickin' tune. Hello, I Love You, Spanish Caravan, The Unknown Soldier & Five to One are very good ones on that record as well.

The Soft Parade is the one that's less of a must if one is prioritizing; it's probably their weakest.

Morrison Hotel is noticeably absent from the poll.
