For real if he would've stuck around there music definatley would've influenced the face of rock and roll. |
I seriously just came in here to post this same album, and for the same reason.
I always stuck mostly to the self-titled, Strange Days & a bit of Morrison Hotel, but after hearing L.A. Woman's title track for what seemed like the first time (I'm sure I'd listened to it before, but passively enough that its awesomeness flew under my radar), I decided to give it another go. Definitely my favourite Doors album now, and sure to become one of my favourite albums of all-time as it has that rare quality of getting better and better every time I listen to it.

Hugely overlooked album IMHO, it's up there with On The Corner/Get Up With It for sure. "Dark Magus" is another underrated gem from Miles' funky era, fi you haven't checked that one out already.
