Product Description
From Amazon.com
A great singles band that often got a little unraveled on its album-only epics, the Doors are predictably remembered as Deeper Artists than some of their (especially Jim Morrison's) pretensions merit. But those 45s really were great. They dominate this disc, with "Light My Fire" (the album version) and "Hello I Love You" banging by to complement the moodier "Riders on the Storm" (also at LP length) and a live "Roadhouse Blues" rescued from An American Prayer. Predictably, the record closes with a few other non-AM tracks, including "The End." But most of the real meat is in the stuff that made it to the jukeboxes. --Rickey Wright

Does justice for the most part,
By Red "Nobody" (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
My favorite tracks are Riders of the Storm, People are Strange and Light my Fire. It's only 12 songs, however, which is kinda suspect. You'd think for such a famous band, there would be more. The design on the cd is awesome, by the way. It's sad that Jim Morrison had to die 12 years before I was born. There aren't many interesting people out there like he was.

Fabulous!!!!!!!,

This review is from: Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
The Doors are the absolute greatest rock band ever. One thing that drawn me to The Doors was drummer John Densmore and organist Ray Manzerik's passion for jazz, as I was a jazz fan. I found this cd in my sisters cd collection. Her friends were getting in to The Doors, and people at school were talking about them. So The Doors aren't completely forgoten them, kids round age 14 and 15 like them. Well, they're great! The Doors are fun and great! their songs are well written and have good hooks. The Doors aren't known as a "jazz" group. Heck, they didn't even play jazz, but they took the basic elements of it, like improvisation and rock and rolled it. Ray and Robby take solos like they were in a quartet headed by Miles Davis or John Coltrane. This cd has great tracks. It's a great sampler, but in order to get the full Doors majic, you'd have to buy every single studio album! This cd is great!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing CD,

I love this CD. It's missing a few Doors fundamentals like "Waiting for the Sun," but a great compilation nonetheless. Highly recommended.
