Rethink this purchase

"The Doors is one of those bands that is the stuff of legends, but if you like the band don't buy this paticular album. Look into their original albums, there are some amazing songs on them that most people haven't heard. Most everyone has heard Light My Fire, and if you like it that's great, but my favorite Doors songs most people haven't heard. Do yourself a favor, get Morrison Hotel, or any of the band's original albums. You'll be pleasantly surprised from the amazing songs you haven't heard.
By the way...listen to Land Ho! I love it."
Good Compilation

"The Doors are one of my favorite bands. I like all the songs on this CD. However, a second CD should be made with more of their classic songs. Here's the songs I would put on a 2nd greatest hits album: (Length of song and album it is from are included)
The total length for the 19 songs is 78 minutes and 40 seconds. There is just enough space to fit all these songs on one CD."
Great, But Not As Good As The Best Of Album

"The Doors have 3 Best of Albums I know of and this is the second one I've listened too. The other one is the double disc set which is a lot better than this one. Not that this CD is bad, but it's missing such tracks as "Waiting for the Sun" and
"Spanish Caravan". While this CD is great, I would get the other one before this one. Here's the tracks:
1. Break on Through-5/5-One of their best!
2. Light My Fire-4/5-While one of their most popular songs this one is not my favorite
3. People Are Strange-5/5-Great lyrics.
4. Riders on the Storm-5/5-I had to watch the movie to figure out what he was talking about, great song.
5. L.A. Woman-5/5-A lot of metaphors used for a city, this is a fantastic song. Morrison says "Mr. Mojo Risin" in the song, rearrange that and you get Jim Morrison.
6. Love Her Madly-5/5-Very catchy song. I love it madly.
7. Back Door Man-5/5-I love the line "eat your pork & beans". Song written by Willie Dixon.
8. Touch Me-4/5-Not one of my favorites. One of their few songs not written by Morrison, this song was written solely by the guitarist Robby Krieger.
9. Hello, I Love You-4/5-It would be funny to see someone say this, lyrics are funny. It's a pretty good song.
10. Love Me Two Times-4/5-Just like "Hello, I Love You."
11. Twentieth Century Fox-4/5-This has never been a favorite Doors song, it's not bad but it's not great either.
12. The Crystal Ship-5/5-Some say "love song" others say "drug reference". Whatever this song is about, it's one of my favorite Doors songs.
13. The WASP (Texas Radio & The Big Beat)-3/5-Chorus is good, but I don't like Morrison's talking in the rest of the song.
14. Peace Frog-5/5-Awesome song, lyrics are fantastic.
15. The End-5/5-11+minute song is fantastic. Very haunting sounding, Morrison's voice sounds great on it.
16. Roadhouse Blues (Live)-5/5-This is the first track I've heard by The Doors that was recorded live and they sound great live. Very cool.
