To my mind, there isn't a huge difference between 'Morrison Hotel' and 'LA Woman'. They're both cases of the Doors getting deep into the blues with a few references back to the sounds of their previous albums. I'm not slagging the album off, just wondering if both needed to be on this list.
I love Morrison's raucous bluesman's voice on this album with tracks like "Been down so long" and the title track. The pulsing, relentless "L'America" is another favourite, 'Love her madly' just seems to paint a picture with sound, to the extent that I'm never surprised to hear it turning up in film and tv soundtracks. Last but not least, if you count this as the last Doors album then you could choose worst tracks to end a career on than 'Riders on the storm' a suitably moody and epic Doors-esque track.
