Paul Rothchild was quite simply incorrect in his assessment of the LA Woman release. He was also incorrect in his production of The Soft Parade. Odd that their worst album came in the middle of their recording career (with Morrison) Also I’ve read that Rothchild didn’t initially ‘get’ The Doors...it was by Botnick’s insisting that they were great that he finally came to understand their mus

QuoteHairball Their first and last albums w/Morrison are my personal favorites. Some great tunes in between (along with some uneven stuff), but those two are the perfect bookends.

QuoteKevinLocksPerm Bored with all this endless talk and speculation about a new album. They should take what they've got and mix it up with outtakes from Voodoo Lounge, Bridges to Babylon, 2002 sessions and A Bigger Bang and just release it as an album. Let's face it apart from a few people on here nobody would really notice or care. With all the filler on the albums you listed
