Favorite Band Ever!


Honestly there's probably like 25 songs by them that I really like/love. Recently discovered Land Ho, End of the Night, Spanish Caravan, Blue Sunday, My Wild Love and You're Lost Little Girl.

You posted this 4 years ago. Do you still feel the same way?

They are one of my favorite bands. Maybe THE favorite. I've never been one to pick favourites, I have too many interests. If I was hard pressed I'd have to flip a coin between The Doors and Pink Floyd.

To illustrate my point...

I have had all of their albums since my early teens. I've been to a John Densmore lecture, and even asked him a question during q&a and had him sign his book for me. I've got a few Morrison poetry books too. Loved the movie and have a few VHS tapes of live performances, which are fucking awesome.

I still can't decide if I like Floyd better LOL

Led Zeppelin is high up there too.

LZ is up there. Don’t forget The Who.

Not quite the same way, it would be a tie between them and Led Zeppelin for my favorite band ever.

There are lots of live recordings out there that are really great.

I’ve tried to get into them, but I haven’t been able to do so. I do like some of the popular ones — Riders of the Storm, LA Woman, Don’t you love her madly etc

I do dearly love Spanish Caravan. I saw Robby Krieger in concert a couple months back and I was so honored to be there. I had hoped he would play Spanish Caravan because I love the guitar work on that one, but he did not. It was a great and unforgettable concert.
