The Doors - Hyacinth House

It’s good to see The Doors feature but I prefer the likes of L’America & The WASP from LA Woman.

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

The irony of this list is that “I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles” has more beats per minute than anything in your top 100 :)

Great song, but expecting at least three or four more better now, in your top 40.
