heh....heheheh....HEHEHEHEHH...ANY OTHER DOORS FANS OUT THERE!???

dude, I am like an utmost Doors afficionado!! I have every studio released album and the box set!!! glad to hear of someone discovering this amazing band for the first time, I know it blew my mind when I first got into them.

they are one of my favorite bands of all time, hands down. a few summers ago i visited Jim Morrison's gravesite in Pere Lachaise in Paris, and that was pretty cool for me.

'break on through' is a great classic song, yes, but if you're really feelin the Doors, may i suggest delving much deeper into their musical repertoire...Waiting for the Sun is probably my favorite doors album ever....you should also get Morrison Hotel and Strange Days....after this, check out Soft Parade (a personal favorite Doors album of mine, though many people i know disagree). Of course, LA Woman is a great album, very bluesy and just excellent all together. you can't go wrong with any Doors album, in my opinion.

If you want something a little more free-form and artsy, check out An American Prayer (its Jim's recorded poetry juxtaposed with the surviving Doors having recorded a musical context for the spoken-word poetry. an interesting listen, no doubt....)

by the way, if you ever see the Doors movie, Oliver Stone was full of shit when it came to many of the things he portrayed. don't buy it all, because quite a few things are blown out of proportion, misrepresented, or downright made up out of thin air. an amusing flick, but hardly a documentary.
