The Doors Albums Ranked From Worst to Best

[@slumdogjay]

LA Woman is my favourite Doors album by a mile. Their musicianship and writing really matured. Brilliant album.

[@rockingbirdey]

I absolutely love The Doors. They are a Top 10 band for me. The bluesy psychedelic sound, Morrison's hypnotic yet equally lush and menacing voice, his fascinating lyrics. But I get why people don't like them. Edit: My ranking 1) The Doors (5/5) 2) L.A. Woman (5/5) 3) Strange Days (4/5) 4) Morrison Hotel (3.5/5) 5) The Soft Parade (3/5) 6) Waiting for the Sun (3/5) 7) Other Voices (2/5) 8) Full Circle (2/5) 9) An American Prayer (1.5/5)

Great lists, one of my favorite bands, at least the first 6 albums and American Prayer with Jim that is. Here's my rankings : 1 - L.A. Woman 2 - Morrison Hotel 3 - The Doors 4 - Waiting For The Sun 5 - Strange Days 6 - The Soft Parade 7 - An American Prayer 8 - Other Voices 9 - Full Circle

Big Doors fan such an iconic band. 50 years after Jim passed they still sell millions of albums. Pretty impressive.

[@jhala27]

I’m blown away at how head scratching some of Joe’s calls can be when I find myself mostly agreeing with his choices more than kramzer and jason but how on earth is the soft parade better than la woman AND strange days. Mind boggling sir just outright mind boggling

[@TastesLikeMusic]

I was surprised myself how much I liked Soft Parade. The bluesy LA Woman seems like a creative step back and Strange Days didn’t connect other than the singles. - Joe

[@diogofaria7880]

6. The Soft Parade 5. Waiting for the Sun 4. Morrison Hotel 3. LA Woman 2. The Doors 1. Strange Days Strange days is not a popular album, and usually not so well ranked as the debut or Morrison Hotel, but to me it is the most consistent one, with an overall dark moody psychedelic feel. It lack hits like the other ones, but all songs seems to go very well together. I feel the other albums are somehow a little disjointed, and this is the only one that really feels like a real album.

[@mrp4242]

I really enjoy Strange Days too. I have it just behind the debut.

[@mxcope]

The Doors have been my favorite since about 12 when I bought the 2CD Best Of, so it was a little tough to hear some of your opinions and rankings on this, but appreciate them nonetheless. I have always deeply connected with them, and later in life came to appreciate each member's contributions. They were/are so unique, and very American - for whatever that means, not sure how to articulate it. Morrison Hotel and Soft Parade are my two favorites atm.

[@crowfeedreactions]

I also bought that 2 CD "Best of" as my first introduction to The Doors and it was great! But then when I delved deeper into their catalogue, there was so much gold to find. It's not often that happens for me. Usually, when a band puts out a "greatest hits" album, the songs they didn't include are decidedly mid (ahem... looking at you, Eagles!). Not so for The Doors!

[@davidenders9282]

[@elviswhataguy5954]

Hi guys. Working my way a bit haphazardly through your listographies - really enjoying them. In regard to The Doors' influence, you might want to check out The Stranglers, an English band from Surrey whose original line-up was very popular in the UK and also did pretty well in Australia and parts of Europe. Having denied it initially, they later admitted that they were quite heavily influenced by The Doors, most evident through the work of their keyboard player, Dave Greenfield (who, sadly, died of Covid-19 last summer). Although they broke through as part of the UK punk scene, they were a bit older and more musically adept than their peers, and the original four-piece line-up (10 studio albums of rankable quality) remain one of my favourite bands - easily in my top 30. Thank you for the lists. Looking forward to seeing what you tackle in the future while I continue to catch up.

[@eaglesrule1415]

Love these breakdowns. I go back and listen to the band's albums that you rank. I's been fun little trip listening to some albums I haven't listened to in a while.👍👍

My Rankings exactly. All of the Morrison albums are all really good. The debut and Morrison Hotel are both absolute classics.

My favourite Doors albums are the debut and LA Woman. The issue I have with the ones in between is that no matter how many times I listen to them, I can never remember the songs - the titles, how they go, anything about them. In one ear, out the other. Nice discussion guys.

[@swannoir]

This was fun to listen to. For me, without going back and studying exactly which songs are on which albums (since I can never remember), my list would be: 1. The Doors (probably) 2-6 the other albums with Jim 7-9 the albums post Jim

[@fernandopavon888]

The Door with Jim where a great band, my favourite, especially songs such as The End, When the music is over, the Soft Parade and many others.

LA Woman (title track, Riders on the Storm, Love Her Madly, good stuff) 3. Strange Days (title track, Love Me Two Times, When the Music's Over) 4. Soft Parade (title track, Touch Me, Tell All The People, solid album IMO) 5. Morrison Hotel (ROADHOUSE BLUES!, Waiting for the Sun, Indian Summer, amazing 1-2 opener) Honorable mention for Five to One, GREAT TRACK! I just rediscovered these guys after many years and they rule. They were doing stuff in the late 60's that reminds me of Deep Purple. Their music was really diverse and a lot of it rocked. I would not call them a "proto metal band" but some of their stuff scorches. Great band that I encourage anybody to discover today, in 2024.

[@billkeon880]

1 Strange Days 2 debut album 3 LA Woman 4 Waiting for the Sun 5 Morrison Hotel 6 Soft Parade 7 all the rest tied. Strange Days is their psychedelic lp with the best carnival atmosphere. The debut is their objectively best album, hands down, but to me Days is my sentimental fav. Even the Doors thought Days was second best along with LA Woman

For some reason Strange Days and LA woman didn’t click with me. Debut is best. - Joe

@@TastesLikeMusic yeah, I get you - the debut is monumental, hands down the best debut ever along with Hendrix. Amazed at how confident these two debuts are. It would be my number 1 but Strange Days was the first Doors for me so more sentimental, but so atmospheric. I got the reissued 45 RPM audiophile vinyl pressings of Days and LA and they blow your socks off, so as a proper listening experience (which they didn't quite get the on first time pressings) these two are sparkling.

Stay in the moment. Be whole. That's exactly what makes The Soft Parade so great. The album runs like a soldier, as if conducted by Sir Eliot Gardiner. Of course there are the bigger songs on the Doors' other LPs. Hardly any of their other albums are so well rounded.

[@rjmacready8830]

The Doors (perfect debut album), L.A. Woman (Robby's best moment), Strange Days (very similar to their debut, just a bit slower), Morrison Hotel, (roadhouse/peacefrog/maggie great, the rest is soft rock), Waiting for the Sun (too psychedelic), The Soft Parade (overproduced).

[@TastesLikeMusic]

Mmmmm disagree. - Joe

[@GCSoundArtifacts]

The Doors are, definitely, one of the most original and, at the same time, subversive bands ever. The word "manacing" is SO much fitting for this band. I like their unique chemistry, specially at their prime in the beginning. Part of their discography I can't rank, though, because of Morrison's absence. 6 - The Soft Parade 5 - Waiting For The Sun 4 - Morrison Hotel 3 - L.A. Woman 2 - Strange Days 1 - The Doors ("The End" is, by far, their best song!) I don't know if you have done episodes for these bands, but I suggest incorporating some non-English speaking bands... Such as Mutantes, from my country. :)

[@ThePhysicalillusion]

For me, the first 2 albums are the best by a lot, with both making my 1967 top 5 and Strange Days edging out the debut (I think “When The Music’s Over” works a bit better than “The End” and the darkness overall feels more convincing). “Light My Fire” is my favorite song of theirs, though. At the bottom, Other Voices may be the most consistently mediocre album I’ve ever heard, but I think the lows are worse on Full Circle, and An American Prayer seems to suggest that Jim Morrison’s poetry outside the context of actual songs is mostly just stupid. 1. Strange Days 2. The Doors 3. L.A. Woman (this was my #4 for awhile, but I like the title track more than I used to) 4. Morrison Hotel 5. Waiting For The Sun 6. The Soft Parade 7. Other Voices 8.

Nice list, as always. For me, a very good band, though probably not in my top 20. I know using the word "interesting" is typically not a great thing in rock music, but they really were. For my list, I did not include An American Prayer. For me, this should've been called An American Cash Grab. Just pretentious and unnecessary. Other than that: 8. Other Voices. Wretched. I was too young to remember when this came out, but I can only imagine the universal shrugging of shoulders and shaking of heads when it did. 7. Full Circle. Slightly better. But slightly better than #8 isn't saying much. 6. Strange Days. Hard to repeat their classic debut. In hard rock/metal terms, this would be like Van Halen II compared to Van Halen I. But that's just me. 5.The Soft Parade. Wishful Sinful is great. Touch Me, even better. Overall a pretty polarizing record, but holds up well. 4.Morrison Hotel. Very confident record. Peace Frog still one of my favorites. 3. Waiting For The Sun. I wanted to rank this higher. I should be terribly sick of Hello, I Love You, but nope. Still great. Love Street, same. 2. The Doors debut. I'm so torn between this and my number one. It will never get old. 1. LA Woman. I can't think of a band with better bookend albums (obviously not counting the post-Morrison debacle). Just fantastic.

[@wenndingofoster5680]

Not To Touch the Earth was definitely a great Heavy song ( though it does seem like it's incomplete ) , I love Unhappy Girl from Strange Days . My least favorite is easily the Soft Parade , it comes across as a bit experimental , and alienated from the other albums. I lean towards their weird music , more than the pop and blues . Fortunately I have never heard the post Jim Morrison material . This video certainly didn't inspire me to go out and buy them. I do however enjoy American Prayer , as it is equivalent to a whole album of the song The End ( always wanted that song to last another 25 minutes ) . That along with Pink Floyd - Ummagumma are both brilliant when you want to get in that strange place hid within your mind . I love the Celebration of the Lizard the long song that includes the incomplete Not to Touch the Earth . I would have liked to see Hello I Love You replaced by Waiting For the Sun , and Celebration of the Lizard included to make Waiting For the Sun the album it should have been . Hello I Love You would fit the mood of Soft Parade much better than Waiting For the Sun . As it is I believe the Doors debut , Strange Days , and Morrison Motel to be the best albums ( LA Woman just has too much Blues for my tastes ) . I would put the 3 I mentioned as all equal to each other as the Doors most consistent , and engaging body of work

1. The Doors; 2. The Soft Parade; 3. Morrison Hotel; 4. LA Woman; 5. Strange Days; 6. Waiting for the Sun. I think the critics missed the point of The Soft Parade, which is a concept album about man's rejection of God, and his descent into hell, as epitomized by song The Soft Parade. I think the Doors wrote songs like The End, When the Music's Over, and The Soft Parade because of Jim Morrison's fixation on God, death, and hell.

The Soft Parade and American Prayer very good, the others. are all excellent (The ones without Morrison only have a few tracks i like, as an album I don't care for them) Only issue I have is that some songs sound underproduced, too sparcely arranged. Also the drumming sounds rather too simple and thin by times.

The song Soft Parade is awesome. Not too long. Wild Child is great too. Morrison stuff is better than Krieger's on Soft Parade

Morrison Hotel for me. The debut is pretty strong, but The End is pretentious (but it is effective in Apocalypse Now). LA Woman another strong album.

'The soft parade' the song is underrated.

Boyz I was sooo excited to watch this video but it reminds me of a particularly shit Christmas I had lol. (I asked for a mobile phone and got a box of chocolates and a suitcase). LA Woman one of the best albums of all time for me. I can’t type anymore through my tears....
