A pretty chill, laid back blues/rock record. The least experimental of The Doors albums and the most mellow, but L.A. Woman is one of the most quintessentially L.A. songs ever recorded, and Riders on the Storm is positively iconic.

Some fantastic stuff, The Doors could just do no wrong in my eyes.

Riders, LA Woman, Roadhouse Blues (that rifffffff), The WASP, Love Her Madly, soooooo many Doors classics

One of their better releases in my eyes. They really tapped into their Blues roots on this one, and kind of threw out the remaining protopunk.

Of course there's the title single we all love.

Probably my favorite of all of their releases. I agree Riders on the Storm is iconic for sure.
