Like pretty much all of their songs, cf. Riders On The Storm, LA Woman, many more.
I still like it though. Never cared much for "My Girl", classic as it.

It does have a riders on the storm feel, and I like that one. This one not so much.
LA Women is a great album.

My views on Jim Morrison being everything that's wrong with rock 'n' roll front men are well-known, and I don't like any of their records in their entirety (save the first) and have been satisfied with one of their (many) older Greatest Hits record (which The End is not on). That said, they were original, and Ray Manzarek turned out to be a great producer, so they contributed nearly as much to world as Jim Morrison took from it in his brief stay here.It does have a riders on the storm feel, and I like that one.

I’m not sure about that. It goes through a lot of phases. There’s slow languid guitar at the start, a section where it speeds Up. Those organ chords when Morrison sings “of our elaborate plans, the end”. I’d go as far as to say it’s a masterpiece. This is the kind of instrumental magic that I always bang on about missing in the album thread when there’s not enough going on for me in some of the selections.Struggling with that Doors one.
Nothing happens.
Each to their own, of course, but to say nothing happens is not the way I see it. There is so much going on in this song in both the lyrics and music.

Not sure if you agree Fog but Ray was also a good musician. There would have been no Doors without Ray. Look Morrison was a decent songwriter but as you allude to very destructive for the band which was never going to be around with that lien up for very long.My views on Jim Morrison being everything that's wrong with rock 'n' roll front men are well-known, and I don't like any of their records in their entirety (save the first) and have been satisfied with one of their (many) older Greatest Hits record (which The End is not on).

Jim was a fantastic front man- charismatic, eloquent and totally unique. The band broke the mould. Much better rock than any fookin beach boys or shit like that which yanks in particular seem to rave about.
